HC Deb 30 June 1882 vol 271 cc912-3
MR. HEALY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he will state the total increase in the amount charged for the Irish Police Force for the years 1879, 1880, and 1881, stating each year's increase separately?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, I assume that the Question of the hon. Member for Wexford (Mr. Healy) refers to the Royal Irish Constabulary, and does not include the Dublin Metropolitan Police. In 1879 and 1880, the increase over the previous year in the cost of the ROYAL Irish Constabulary was £7,303. In 1880–1 it was £83,139; in 1881–2 it was £125,564. I can give the figures for the Metropolitan Police if the hon. Member wishes.
