MR. JAMES DALY (Monaghan, S.)

I beg to ask to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state how much of the salary of Divisional Commissioner Slacke comes from the taxpayers of county Monaghan; and, if he can state what duties he performs in that county?

Captain Sir Owen Slacke is Divisional Commissioner for the Northern Division of Ireland which comprises eleven counties, of which Monaghan is one. His salary is paid from moneys voted by Parliament. As Divisional Commissioner he has the general supervision of all matters appertaining to police and crime in his division.
