§ MR. CAREW (Kildare, N.)On behalf of my hon. Friend the Member for Dublin County, North (Mr. Clancy), I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, in reference to the promised focal inquiry as to the proposed rifle range and military camp at Portmarnock, County of Dublin, whether he will consider the advisability of directing the inquiry to be held on a Saturday, the day of the week on which those most concerned, namely, the fishermen, will be free to give evidence; whether he will take steps to have the evidence at the inquiry reported by a shorthand writer, and printed; and whether the inquiry will be held by a person unconnected with the Army?
§ MR. E. STANHOPEThe inquiry will certainly be conducted by a gentleman unconnected with the Army. He will be instructed to hold it at such times as will give ample facilities to all persons concerned to attend. With regard to the second part of the question, I will give it my consideration before the inquiry takes place.
