§ MR. P. J. POWERasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, What is the number and cost of the extra police force, with the different areas of chargeability, at present quartered in the county of Waterford?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThere are 116 extra men in the county of Waterford under Sections 12 and 13 of the Act of Will. IV. The area of chargeability is the county at large, and the cost to the county, after allowing for vacanies as prescribed by the Statute, amounts to £1,016 for the six months ended 30th September last.
§ MR. P. J. POWERWhat has occurred in the County Waterford to justify this very high-handed conduct on the part of the Government?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThat is another Question that can hardly be answered at once.
§ MR. P. J. POWERI beg to give Notice that on the earliest opportunity I will call attention to the very highhanded proceedings of the Irish Government in this matter.
