HC Deb 22 March 1904 vol 132 cc399-400
MR. HAYDEN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state the number of police stationed in the town of Castlerea, county of Roscommon; what is the population of the district entrusted to their charge; how long each member of the force stationed there has been in the town; and whether it is usual to leave any constables longer than a certain fixed period in any one place.

MR. WYNDHAM

Twenty-one men, including the officer in charge. The population of the district is 4,233. The men have been stationed there for periods varying from less than a year to twelve years. There is no fixed rule on the subject.
