§ MR. DELANYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the report of an inquiry held recently at Maryborough Prison; and, if so, will he state whether the decision then announced has since been reversed; and whether, in view of the discontent existing in the Maryborough prison service, he would consider the advisability of establishing a regular Court, independent of the officers of the Prisons Board, for trial of breaches of prison rules on the same lines as that provided for the Royal Irish Constabulary.
§ MR. WYNDHAMInquiries have been held at this prison from time to time. No decisions of the Prisons Board have been reversed, and no discontent exists as alleged. Breaches of prison rules are investigated in the manner provided by Statute, and the system is the same in Ireland as in England.
