HC Deb 02 July 1883 vol 281 c42
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether his attention has been directed to the following passage on page 13 of the 51st Report of the Commissioners of Public Works (Ireland), just issued:— Plans have also been made for new barracks at St. John's Street, Limerick, Suir Castle, Rosscarberry, Bohola, Ennis, and for adapting King's Court House, Clontarf, for the accommodation of Crown witnesses; and, whether it is the intention of the Government to make the last-mentioned establishment a permanent institution?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, I can make no positive statement on this subject. The arrangement as to King's Court House will probably last as long as it may be necessary for the Crown to maintain witnesses in Ireland. The house has been selected for the purpose, in lieu of the premises formerly used at Ballybough, which were condemned as unhealthy.
