§ MR. T. P. O'CONNOR (for Mr. SEXTON)asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether he is aware that the sanitary accommodation in Kilmainham Prison is insufficient and filthy; whether he will give his early attention to the subject; and, whether, especially, he will cause the sanitary appliances of the Prison to be increased in number and kept in good order?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. LAW)Sir, I have received a Report on this subject from the General Prisons Board. The sanitary accommodation in Kilmainham Prison is stated not to be either insufficient or filthy. On the contrary, the sanitary appliances are, I am informed, adequate and kept in perfectly good order.
