§ MR. MOONEY (Dublin County, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if it is intended to send members of the Dublin Metropolitan Police to Hythe to undergo a course of musketry drill; and, if so, is there any intention to arm the force with rifles; and, if not, will he state what is the object of having them trained in musketry drill.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe hon. Member has been misinformed. It is not intended to send members of the Dublin Metropolitan Police to Hythe to undergo a course of drill in musketry, and it has never been contemplated to arm that force with rifles.
