HC Deb 26 February 1883 vol 276 cc847-8
MR. KENNY (for Mr. ARTHUR O'CONNOR)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he will lay upon the Table a Return showing the establishment, number, and the effective strength of the Constabulary Force in each county in Ireland on the first day of each month during the year 1882; the number of extra police employed in each county, with the dates from and to which they were so employed; the amount charged against each county for such extra police; and the area of charge in each case?

MR. TRELVEYAN

There will be no objection to lay upon the Table, if moved for, a Return such as that suggested in the first part of the Question. It will be a Return that will take a long time to prepare, as some of the accounts will not be made up until after the 31st of next month; so, perhaps, the hon. Member (Mr. A. O'Connor) will let me have the form of his Return in manuscript.
