HC Deb 10 May 1906 vol 156 c1489
MR. REDDY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state the number of district inspectors of Royal Irish Constabulary and their recorded religious beliefs in King's County, also the number of sergeants in charge of Banagher district, King's County, distinguishing their religion.

MR. BRYCE

I am informed by the Inspector-General of the Royal Irish Constabulary that there are five district inspectors in King's County, of whom four are recorded as Protestants and one as a Catholic. There are seven sergeants in Banagher district, of whom three are recorded as Protestants and four as Catholics.

MR. REDDY

Why are nearly all the inspectors of one religion?

MR. BRYCE

I really do not know.
