MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if it has been decided not to have any Irish Militia trained at Salisbury Plain this year: and whether, as they would therefore be deprived of the advantages of an extended period of training 34 days which is to be granted to the English and Scotch regiments training at Salisbury Plain, will he extend the period of training in the Irish Militia brigade camps to 34 days?
§ MR. WYNDHAMNo Irish Militia will be trained at Salisbury Plain this year. The regulalr period of training is 28 days, and it is not desirable to extend it in ordinary cases.
