§ MR. SHEEHY (Meath, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is the practice in the Irish Constabulary to permit a married constable to remain in the district to which his wife belongs; whether he is aware that Sergeant Sullivan, of Dunshaughlen, married some months ago the daughter of a publican in Skryne, which is in Sullivan's district; and whether, in the interest of the due observance of the licence laws, Sullivan will be removed to another county.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe reply to the first inquiry is in the negative. The sergeant was necessarily retained at his present station on special duty which is about to terminate, when he will be removed to another county.
