§ MR. MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)asked the Secretary of state for War, whether it is a fact that, on the 15th May, 1888, a detachment of the King's Royal Rifles were brought from Enniskillen to Dunfanaghy, County Donegal, to quell disturbances arising from disputes between Mr. Wybrant Olphert and the tenantry of Gweedore and Falcarragh; whether the workhouse at Dunfanaghy has been converted into a temporary barrack for these troops; and, if so, what rent, if any, has been paid by the Government to the Poor Law Union for this accommodation; whether the said workhouse has been, from the 15th May, 1888, till the present time, occupied by military; and what has been the average number of soldiers and officers quartered there; whether a detachment of the King's Royal Rifles is now occupying the outhouses attached to Ballyconnell House, Falcarragh, the residence of Mr. Olphert, while their 1540 commanding officers are residing in Ballyconnell House; what is the strength of this detachment; and what, if any, is the remuneration given to Mr. Olphert for thus supplying them with accommodation; and, is it usual for the forces of the Crown, called upon to preserve the public peace in a dispute between a landlord and his tenant, to be billeted in the house of the landlord?
