HC Deb 24 April 1890 vol 343 cc1260-1
MR. PINKERTON (Galway)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been directed to resolutions passed by the Galway Town and Harbour Commissioners with regard to the present unsatisfactory state of the barracks in that town, and requesting the War Office to select one of the many excellent sites within convenient distance of the town, for the erection of a barrack suitable for troops, both from a sanitary and comfortable point of view; and if it is the intention of the War Office to accede to this request?

*THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE,) Lincolnshire, Horncastle

My attention has been called to the Resolution passed by the Galway Town and Harbour Commissioners with regard to the present unsatisfactory state of the barracks in that town. I was otherwise well aware of the unsatisfactory condition of the barracks at Gralway; and I certainly intend to deal with this subject under the Barrack Bill.
