HC Deb 16 July 1906 vol 160 cc1319-20
MR. O'MALLEY

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the peaceful condition of the district for some considerable time past, and of the fact that the police barracks at Letterfrack are only three miles distant, the police barracks at Tullycross, county Galway, will be discontinued; and if he will state the number of cases the four or five policemen at this station have had during the last year.

(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The police station at Tully, which is three miles from Letterfrack, is situated in a populous district. The locality, however, has been reported as peaceable for some time past, and the question of the necessity for continuing the station will shortly come up for consideration. The number of prosecutions by the police at this station during the past year was fifty-one.
