HC Deb 25 February 1902 vol 103 cc1030-1
MR. M'GOVERN (Cavan, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received a copy of a resolution which was passed by the magistrates at the last petty sessions, held in Blacklion, County Cavan, on the 17th instant, protesting against extra police being sent to the district, stating that no necessity existed for them; and will he accede to the request of the justices to have these extra police removed from the district without further delay.

MR. WYNDHAM

Yes, Sir; but, as already stated, I am in frequent communication with the local officers responsible for the peace of the district, and the extra police will be withdrawn when the necessity for their presence has passed away.
