§ MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the 1684 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, on the 14th instant, the Mission boat, of about 13 tons, and her dingey were taken from the mooring place at Moyrus, County Galway, and sunk and destroyed; whether compensation is being sought for malicious injury; and if, in view of this recurrence of outrage in the locality, he will consider the advisability of establishing a police hut at Moyrus?
MR. J. MORLEYIt is true that the two boats referred to have disappeared, though it is not yet clear what became of them, and it is hoped the result of further inquiry will show that they were not maliciously destroyed. Compensation to the amount of £100 will, I am informed, be claimed. The question of the establishment of a police station at the place mentioned is engaging the attention of the local responsible authorities.
