HC Deb 05 May 1885 vol 297 c1637
MR. SEXTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If an extra force of four constables, stationed at Kilmoon, county Clare, about fifteen months since, for the protection of a man named Gardner, who had taken a vacated farm, is still maintained at Kilmoon, although the farm in question has been unoccupied for months, and there is no one who can be said to be in need of protection; and, whether the extra force will be now removed?

MR. CAMPBELL- BANNERMAN

The farm in question is not unoccupied, and protection is still considered necessary. The force is not an extra one.
