§ MR. CHARLES DEVLIN (Galway)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state why Mr. Munroe was promoted from the Burmah Police Force to the governorship of Castlebar Prison, which is a third class prison; and, after six months of this duty, was promoted over the heads of Irish officials to the governorship of Galway Prison, which is in the category of a second class prison.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) Mr. Munroe was selected for appointment as governor in the service of the Irish Prisons' Board on the ground that he was the best qualified candidate for the position. The same principle regulated his subsequent promotion from Castlebar to Londonderry (not Galway) Prison.
