HC Deb 23 July 1900 vol 86 c878
MR. T. M. HEALY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state where the batons and handcuffs used by the police, in Ireland are made, and what is the capital cost of those now employed by the Royal Irish Constabulary and Dublin Metropolitan Police.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

The batons and handcuffs used by the Irish police were obtained many years ago from a firm in Dublin; it is not known where they were made. The estimated cost of these articles was about £1,900.

MR. T. M. HEALY

Were they made in Germany?

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

They were obtained in Dublin, many years ago.
