HC Deb 09 July 1897 vol 50 c1474
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1) whether any complaints have been received of the manner in which Head Constable Dalton, of Swanlinbar, is at present conducting the police affairs of that district; and (2) when will an officer be placed in charge of it?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

The reply to the first paragraph is in the negative. The district only became vacant on the 1st ultimo, and an officer will be appointed to it as soon as one is available.
