§ MR. HAZLETONTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is proposed to acquire land in Tuam, county Galway, in connection with the erection of a new police barracks there; and whether it will be possible to do this without buying land on which occupied houses stand from which it would be necessary to evict tenants who have been in occupation for a number of years past, and who will suffer hardship if dispossessed.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Inspector General informs me that it has not yet been decided that it will be necessary to build a new police station at Tuam. If, however, the necessity should arise, it is not proposed to acquire a site upon which any existing houses stand.
