HC Deb 21 February 1895 vol 30 c1278
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been directed to the extraordinary number of police now stationed in Millstreet, County Cork; and, whether, the peaceful condition of the district being considered, a material reduction in the numbers of constabulary may now be made?

MR.J. MORLEY

The number of police now stationed at Millstreet is 17, which, I am informed, is below the former strength. The area comprised in the district is unusually large, and contains 50 townlands. An adjoining sub-district was broken up in July 1892, and most of it was merged in the Mill-street sub-district. The Constabulary Authorities are of opinion that the strength of the force at Millstreet cannot at present be reduced.
