They claimed government had promised legislation in the past and they requested that clauses abolishing thefair be inserted in the Fairs and Markets Bill then before Parliament. Government in response claimed it wasa Bill dealing with places of business and not of amusement and that Donnybrook Fair did not fit in the formercategory, and that in any case it was a police matter. Dublin Police Commissioner More O'Ferrall supportedthe clergy and claimed Donnybrook Fair was a place of business, but to no avail. See SPOI OP,"1861/45, J.Sprattand P.1. Nowlan to E.

While respectable society was glad to avail of police support to end the popular festivalof Donnybrook, respectable people within the same parish of Donnybrook-Irishtown objected strongly and ,publicly to the announcement that a police station was to be opened in Irishtown. On 4 September 1855 theresidents of the Tritonville district met "to consider the best means of averting the evil about to be done by theerection of a police barrack and a lockup house in the centre ... of that rising and respectable suburb, to thecomplete destruction of the value of property and the subversion of decency and morality".

Forty years later the famous Dublin police chief, John Mallon,revealed similar anxiety about wrestling matches, this time in the Phoenix Park. In the 1870s and early 1880seach Sunday from May to November, several thousands used gather to watch wrestling contests between teamsfrom Meath, Kildare, Wicklow and Dublin. Mallon had plain clothes detectives present to gather informationand report and on the basis of these the police commissioner George Talbot wanted the Castle to act. Havingstopped the music in Donnybrook, the DMP was determined to stop the fun and games in the Park. But thistime the Castle authorities thought 'it would perhaps be more prudent not to interfere'.
