MR. GREER

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is the intention of the Government to call out the Irish Militia for training this year?

It is intended, Sir, to make provisions in the Army Estimates for the ensuing year for the training of the Irish Militia, and orders have been issued to re-open recruiting. Of course, the actual training will depend upon the state of the country at the time.
