§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what are the reasons for the proposed transfer of the police barrack in Fintona, County Tyrone, from the main street of the town to a back and out-of-the-way street, and if the Inspector General has received a Memorial from a large section of the inhabitants of the town protesting against the change?
§ MR. JACKSONThe Constabulary Authorities report that, in their opinion, the transfer of the men from the present house occupied as a police barrack at Fintona is necessary owing to inadequate accommodation, and to the fact that there has been an undue amount of sickness among the men. The house they have been considering the advisability of taking adjoins the main street, is in a thoroughfare, and is advantageously situated for the discharge of the general police duties. A Memorial against the proposed change has been received by the Inspector General, who has replied, pointing out, in his opinion, the necessity for the proposed change.
