§ MR. DALY (Monaghan, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a circular has been issued to the Royal Irish Constabulary in Ireland suspending the granting of leave of absence except in very urgent cases, and that the issuing of this circular has caused 1375 great disappointment in the police force; and whether he will have this objectionable circular withdrawn.
§ MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. G. W. BALFOUR)No such circular has ever been issued to the Constabulary.
