§ MR. SHEEHY (Galway, S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether Prison Warder John Daly, of Sligo Prison, has been dismissed, after sworn inquiry, for having allowed prohibited articles into the possession of a prisoner; when 425 was the inquiry held; when was its result communicated to Daly; and, whether he has any objection to furnishing a copy of the information sworn at the inquiry to Daly?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)The man referred to was dismissed for the reason stated. Subsequently, on his own request, a sworn inquiry was held on the 26th of April. The result, which confirmed the decision already arrived at by the General Prisons Board, was communicated to him on the 9th of June. The Board report that the course suggested would be contrary to practice.
§ THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN (Mr. SEXTON) (Belfast, W.)I wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman if Daly was examined at the inquiry; and, also, if the Government made any inquiry of the prisoner in question—my hon. Friend the Member for South Galway (Mr. Sheehy)?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am not aware if that is so.
