§ MR. REDDY (King's County, Birr)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland what is the salary and allowances of the two inspectors of the Royal Irish Constabulary, two head constables in Shinrone and Birr, King's county; how many stations they have to inspect, and the total distance they should travel to inspect them all; how often they have visited each station, and how long they stayed in each station at each visit during the past twelve months.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe total pay and allowances is £878 per annum. There are five stations in the Birr District, covering a distance of forty miles; and
† See (1) Debates, cxxxi., 460.245 six in the Shinrone District covering a distance of sixty-five miles. They were all very frequently inspected. It would be contrary to practice to state the duration of the visits or their number.
§ MR. REDDYIs it not the fact that these two inspectors are able to perform their monthly duty in one day and spend the rest of the month in hunting?
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order!
