§ SIR R. FOWLERI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what progress has recently been made in the improvement of the accommodation of persons awaiting trial at Police and Assize Courts in Ireland?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe question of the accommodation of persons awaiting trial at Police and Assize Courts in Ireland was fully investigated by the Irish Government in 1887 and 1888, and everything possible under the existing law was done to remedy any defects that were brought to light. No complaints have recently been made except as regards Green Street Court House, Dublin. In that case, however, the complaint is against the building generally.
