§ MR. COX (Clare, E.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is the intention of the 767 Irish Government to carry out the promise made by the late Chief Secretary for Ireland, in Committee of Supply last September, to "secure the merited promotion" of District Inspector Tilly, Royal Irish Constabulary?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.), in reply, said, the hon. Member put a similar Question on the 14th of February last, and he referred the hon. Member to the reply then given. No opportunity had since arisen for carrying out the intention of the Irish Government referred to.
§ MR. COXasked, would not an opportunity soon arise in the promotions, consequent on a vacancy of an officer in the depot, Phœnix Park?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURsaid, he was not aware of the nature of the promotions which would follow that vacancy.
