§ MR. O'KELLY (Mayo, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state whether any charges have been made by Patrick Murphy, of Munhin, Bangor-Erris, county Mayo, against members of the Royal Irish Constabulary stationed in Belmullet and in Bangor-Erris, county Mayo, and, if so, has any inquiry into these charges been ordered by the Inspector-General of the Royal Irish Constabulary.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) Yes, Sir, charges of various kinds against several members of the force have been made by the person named. These complaints were carefully investigated and found to be either unfounded or frivolous, and to have been made from vindictive motives.
