§ MR. KAVANAGHasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether, having provided by the Supplementary Estimates for an increase of pay to the Men of the Royal Irish Constabulary, Her Majesty's Government were prepared to take any steps towards adopting the Recommendations of the Commissioners in favour of the Commissioned Officers of that force?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON,in reply, said, he did not quite understand the hon. Gentleman's Question. In the first place, the Report of the Commissioners had not yet been laid upon the Table, and, consequently, the hon. Gentleman could not be aware what the recommendations of the Commissioners were. The Report would probably be laid on the Table that day, and he trusted the hon. Gentleman would then perceive that the regulations respecting the commissioned officers had been entirely carried out.
