§ MR. COLLERY (Sligo, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether resolutions have been received from the rank and file of the Royal Irish Constabulary, praying for the distribution of the Constabulary Force Fund; and whether inquiry has been made into the demand of the subscribers to the fund; and, if so, what action the Government intend taking in the matter?
MR. J. MORLEYI have already replied very fully to several questions addressed to me on the subject of the winding up of the benefit branch of this fund, and to these replies I am afraid I have nothing to add.
§ MR. SEXTON (Kerry, N.)May I ask the right hon. Gentleman, as the Government have made provision for the gradual dissolution of the Constabulary Force, whether he will consider the propriety of making some proposal for terminating this fund before the Force ceases to exist?
MR. J. MORLEYI will consider the subject from the point of view suggested by the hon. Member in the course of the next few days.
