HC Deb 07 July 1904 vol 137 c962
MR. HUGH LAW (Donegal, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland what arrangements have yet been made for the establishment of children's Courts in Dublin, Cork, and Belfast respectively; and when the Courts will be opened for the trial of child prisoners.

MR. WYNDHAM

In Dublin and Belfast arrangements have already been made for the separate hearing of juvenile custody cases without bringing them into contact with adult offenders. In Cork, similar arrangements will be made when the by-laws regulating street trading by children are confirmed. These by-laws are now before the Lord-Lieutenant.

MR. SLOAN

When will the Belfast Court be opened?

MR. WYNDHAM

It is already open.
