              Press release issued by the Language Freedom Movement responding to comments made in Dáil Éireann on the 29th November, 1966 by Brian Lenihan, Minister for Justice, and Michael Carty, Parliamentary Secretary to An Taoiseach. Mr. Lenihan's comments were on the police, and referred to the LFM meeting in the Mansion House on 21 September 1966. LFM's objections to the comment are accompanied by an account of events on the night. Mr. Carty invoked Article 40 of the Irish Constitution, and remarked that the government could proscribe the LFM on the grounds that its meetings were calculated to cause a breach of the peace. The statement addresses the implications of such a remark on the principle of democracy, and freedom of speech.
