CAPTAIN DONELLAN (Cork, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether his attention has been drawn to a resolution, passed by the Middleton Board of Guardians, on the 2nd instant, protesting against the establishment of a police barrack at Glenagare, county Cork, as unnecessary and unjust to the ratepayers, the locality being most peaceable and but a short distance from the town of Castlemartyr; and, whether, in deference to the strong public feeling thus expressed, he will advise the police authorities to reconsider the matter and abandon the project?
MR. J. MORLEYMy attention has been drawn to the resolution in question. No police barrack has been established at the place referred to; all that was done was to locate two constables in the house of a particular individual for the purposes of special protection, and the employment of these constables on this duty will entail no extra charge whatever to the ratepayers.
