MR. J. G. SWIFT MAC NEILL (Donegal, S.)I wish to ask the Chief Secretary if it is true that the Governor of Derry Gaol has again refused to allow the female prisoners from Gweedore to use the dress provided for them by their friends, and that they have again been obliged to go bare-headed and badly clothed a long journey, although sufficient clothing was sent to the prison for them? I wish to know if the Governor of Derry Gaol has been guilty of such conduct in distinct violation of the pledge given to me last Thursday?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURAS I have only received notice of this question since I entered the House, I have not been able to inquire into the matter, but I think the hon. Member has put the question under some misapprehension. There has been no such hardship as he has indicated.
