HC Deb 13 December 1888 vol 332 cc83-4
MR. J. F. X. O'BRIEN(for Mr. TUITE) (Westmeath, N.) (Mayo, S.)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is the intention of the Government to proceed with the erection of the proposed new Constabulary Barracks at Mullingar, for which a sum of £4,550 was voted by this House in 1886; and, if so, when will the work be commenced?

THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)

This work has not been proceeded with because negotiations for the purchase of some additional land which was necessary had not been satisfactorily concluded. The matter has now been arranged, and an amount will probably be inserted in the Estimates for 1889–90 which are now before the Treasury.
