KENNEDY (Sligo, S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether constables on protection duty with Lewis Goulding, of Lavagh, County Sligo, and Robert Brodie, of Lisanagh, County Sligo, have been working for weeks past like ordinary labourers, not wearing their uniforms or side arms; whether he can state if constables so employed are receiving any remuneration for such work; and, if they are, whether he has arranged any scale of pay for such employment; and, whether he can state who pays car hire for police whilst travelling through the country with Goulding, when acting in capacity of Sheriffs' bailiff and summons server?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E,), in reply, said, he had not yet had time to make the necessary inquiries.
