§ MR. JOHN O'CONNORI beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland what is the number of police at present stationed in the town of Tipperary, and what is its population; how many houses do they occupy besides their ordinary barracks, and how many of these are the houses of evicted tenants; are the houses occupied by the police in close proximity, or in different parts of the town; and what rent do the authorities pay for the houses, if any, occupied by the police, and under what conditions of tenancy are they held?
§ * MR. MADDENThe Constabulary Authorities report that there are, at present, in the town of Tipperary 124 police. The population of the town is about 7,388. The police occupy three houses besides the ordinary barracks. From two of these houses the tenants were evicted. Two of the houses are in close proximity. The other temporary barrack, which is the Town Hall, is in another part of the 862 town. It is proposed to pay £70 a year for one of the houses, and £6 a month for the other. No rent is payable by the police in respect of the Town Hall.
