MR. T. M. HEALYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is it consistent with the Royal Irish Constabulary rules that men who have suffered from lunacy should be in charge of stations; and are any persons above the rank of sergeant who have suffered from lunacy in the Cavan force?
MR. J. MORLEYMen who have shown symptoms of mental depression are not placed upon duty or in any responsible positions in the Constabulary unless the attack was of a temporary character, and no disposition to a recurrence of the depression appeared. The second paragraph apparently refers to the case of a member of the force who suffered from mental depression some years ago, but only for a very brief period. He is reported to have been an excellent officer since his recovery.
