MR. FIELDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Laird Lieutenant of Ireland (1) whether certain recommendations have been made respecting the defective 1395 arrangements and accommodation for prisoners under arrest by the Dublin Metropolitan Police; (2) whether he is aware that a grant has been made to carry out the necessary reform, and to assimilate the system with that now existing in English cities; and (3) whether he can state if these improvements have been commenced, and when they will be perfected?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe first paragraph is a repetition of a Question put to me by the honourable Member on the 21st instant. I am, of course, aware of the fact stated in the second paragraph. On the 21st instant I informed the honourable Member that negotiations for a site for the proposed Central Bride-well were in progress.
