HC Deb 27 October 1902 vol 113 c814
MR. MACVEAGH

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the number of prosecutions and convictions in Ireland under the Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act, it is intended to re-open the five prisons in Ireland which were closed as unnecessary last December on the order of the General Prisons Board.

MR. WYNDHAM

It is not proposed to re-open any of the prisons referred to.
