HC Deb 21 April 1882 vol 268 c1098
MR. REDMOND

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he has inquired into the subject of visits to suspects; and, whether he has been able to make arrangements for increasing the facilities for such visits, especially in Kilmainham, by providing sufficient warders to enable a larger number of visits to take place simultaneously, so that the prisoners may have the full benefit of the rule which permits them to receive one visit each every day?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

, in reply, said, he had inquired into this matter, and he found that there was no ground for complaint. With regard to the other prisons in which "suspects" were detained, he found that arrangements had been made to admit of a sufficient number of visits.

MR. REDMOND

inquired whether the right hon. Gentleman's attention had been called to a letter which appeared in The Freeman's Journal, signed by a number of friends of "suspects," complaining of the inconvenience they had to suffer when trying to see their friends?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

said, he saw nothing of that letter.
