THE O'DONOGHUEasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, What reply has been given to the Memorial of the inhabitants of Knocknagree, county Kerry, praying for the removal of the police hut lately erected there, on the grounds that the structure is unnecessary owing to the absence of crime, and that it places a heavy tax on an impoverished locality?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERI have seen the Memorial to which the hon. Member refers, and I think the memorialists are under a misapprehension on the subject. There is no ground for the assertion that the placing of the hut at Knocknagree imposes a heavy tax on an impoverished locality. The fact is that the police in the hut belong to the Parliamentary quota for the East Riding of Cork, and consequently no tax of the kind referred to will be levied.
