§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the only place provided for Catholic and Non-conformist worship at Carlisle Fort, County Cork, is a hut which is also frequently used as a dormitory, while there is no stable accommodation; and whether, in view of the fact that from 300 to 400 Catholic soldiers are often stationed at this fort during the summer months, a building of sufficient size will be exclusively set, apart for these religious services, and shelter also furnished for the clergyman's horse?
§ * MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThe General Officer reports that there is ample accommodation in a stone building at Carlisle Fort, County Cork, for Nonconformist and Roman Catholic worship during nine months of the year, but that when a Militia regiment or an additional battery of Artillery is there for training the space is insufficient. As this happens in the summer months, it is not considered necessary to provide further accommodation in the Fort, as it is, no doubt, practicable to arrange for the performance of service in the open air, as at camps generally, and, if necessary, with the use of a marquee. There is no stabling accommodation in the Fort, but it is probably practicable to make local arrangements for the clergyman's horse.
