HC Deb 05 July 1888 vol 328 c426
MR. O'KEEFE (Limerick City)

asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Is it a fact that Alderman Riordan, the duly appointed locum tenens for the Mayor of Limerick, has been refused admission as a Visiting Justices to the Limerick Prison; and, whether, having regard to the provisions of 16 & 17 Vict., c. 194, s. 69, relating to the locum tenens of the Mayors, he will permit the Mayor's legally appointed deputy in future to visit the said gaol?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN) (Dublin University)

I am informed by the Prisons Board that Alderman Riordan's claim for admission as a Visiting Justice was not put forward on the ground suggested by the Question. I have called the attention of the Board to the section referred to by the hon. and learned Member, which, it is right to add, is a provision contained in a Local Act relating to Limerick alone.
