In a recent parliamentary inquiry, Mr Sloan raised concerns about the situation of the Jewish community in Limerick and their experiences with boycott. He questioned the Chief Secretary for Ireland regarding the number of Jews who had been compelled to leave the city due to boycott actions.

In response, Mr Long, the Chief Secretary, reported that as per the information he received, thirty-seven members of the Jewish community had left Limerick since the boycott agitation against their business methods began. Among the remaining one hundred and twenty-one members, approximately one-fourth were in poor financial circumstances, while the rest were deemed to be comfortably well-off.

Mr Sloan further inquired whether the poverty faced by the fourth of the Jewish community was a direct result of the boycott. However, no answer was provided to this particular question.

The situation in Limerick has raised concerns about the impact of boycott actions on the Jewish population and their livelihoods. As the issue continues to be monitored, further measures and discussions may be necessary to address the challenges faced by the affected community.
