HC Deb 07 February 1884 vol 284 cc179-80
COLONEL NOLAN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he will relinquish any claim accruing since the 1st January 1884, on the county rates of the county of Gal- way, for such extra Constabulary now or lately charged to the whole county?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, the charge for extra Constabulary must be met in the manner provided by law, and the Government cannot relieve any county of the proportion legally due by it. I am unable, therefore, to give any undertaking that the course suggested in this Question shall be carried out.
