§ MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.); To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Thomas Hackett, a discharged constable of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, sustained injuries in the execution of his duty as a constable, which brought on ill-health, necessitating his discharge from the force; and whether, in view of this man's circumstances, his case will be taken into consideration, with a view to compensation being awarded to him.
§ (Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) There is no power to award ex-Constable Hackett any payment in addition to the statutory gratuity allowed to him on his discharge from the force.
