HC Deb 26 March 1903 vol 120 cc309-10
MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the fact that safes were opened in the Royal Irish Constabulary Barracks in Tralee on the 28th February, and several sums of money taken; and whether, in view of the fact that similar incidents occurred in the same barracks twelve months ago, when a private inquiry was held, he will state the findings of this inquiry, and order a public inquiry to investigate the recent incidents.

MR. WYNDHAM

There is no safe in the Tralee Barracks, and nothing is known of the alleged theft of money on 28th February. Complaints were made in November that small sums had been taken from the boxes of two constables, but no evidence against any person was forthcoming and no complaints have since been made. The inquiry hold twelve months ago had no connection with alleged larcenies.
