HC Deb 18 May 1900 vol 83 c590
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland why the police in Millstreet, Ballinagree, and that portion of the county of Cork, are still maintained at a number in excess of the usual number.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

I have called for, but not yet received, a report on this question. In any case the distribution of the police at the places mentioned is a matter which rests entirely in the hands of the local authorities responsible for the peace of the district. No charge to the ratepayers is involved by the police employed in any portion of the county Cork.
