HC Deb 07 July 1904 vol 137 c971
MR. SHEEHAN (Cork County, Mid)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether Constable Ahern occupies that portion of the Millstreet police barrack known as the hospital; does his wife live in these apartments with him; is he one of the constables stated to be in receipt of a lodging-out allowance; and will he give the names of the two constables who live in the barrack and who are in receipt of lodging allowances.

MR. WYNDHAM

The reply to the first two queries is in the affirmative, and to the third in the negative. The names of the two men referred to at the end of the Question are, Sergeant Crowley and Constable Smyth; the former has recently retired from the force.

MR. SHEEHAN

Am I to understand that it is in accordance with the rules for a constable living in barracks with his wife to receive a lodging allowance?

MR. WYNDHAM

I have said he do s not.
