§ MR. O'NEILL (Antrim, Mid.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if it is intended in future to make Ballymena the head quarters in the county of Antrim of the Royal Irish Constabulary, considering that Ballymena is the centre of the county, is the centre of the railway system of the county, and always was the head quarters until a few years ago, when they were transferred to Lisburn, on the very edge of the county and not on the principal railway system of the county.
§ (Answered by Mr. Bryce.)The matter referred to in the Question is at present under consideration. The points mentioned by the hon. Member will not fail to receive attention.
