HC Deb 09 September 1887 vol 321 cc10-1
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the attention of the Castle Authorities or the Board of Works has been directed to the fact that the sewage from the Gweedore-Bunbeg Constabulary Barracks is discharged into the public road; and, if he will take steps promptly to put an end to the existing state of things?

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KLNG-HARMAN)(who replied) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)

said, the Inspector General of Constabulary reported that it was not the case that the sewage from these barracks was discharged on the public road. There was a drain at the back through which water sometimes oozed in wet weather and was carried to the road.

MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

said, lie had his information on the testimony of an eye-witness. Would the right hon. and gallant Gentleman make further inquiries?

COLONEL KING-HARMAN

replied in the affirmative.
