HC Deb 15 April 1902 vol 106 c285
MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the number of policemen employed in the protection of Mr. Morrogh Bernard at Faha, County Kerry, the yearly expense in salary and otherwise of these policemen to the public, and the yearly rents of the farms from which tenants have been evicted by Mr. Bernard in the district.

MR WYNDHAM

Two constables who, when not employed in protecting Mr. Bernard, are engaged on other police duties. Their emoluments amount to about £102 a year. I have no information on the last query.

MR. MURPHY

But is it not the fact that ten policemen are engaged in protecting this man, in an area not exceeding a square mile?

MR. WYNDHAM

Not ten, but two:

MR. MURPHY

Well, I am personally aware that ten are so engaged.
