§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland under what circumstances is it necessary to afford special police protection to twelve persons in county Louth, forty-one in county Galway, nine in Mayo, thirty-nine in Clare, thirty in county Cork, twenty-four in Kerry, twelve in Limerick, and ten in Tipperary.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Inspector-General of the Royal Irish Constabulary
†See Col. 426.866 informs me that in the cases referred to protection is necessary for various reasons. The Inspector-General considers that it would be very undesirable to give details from which the particular cases might be identified, and I am therefore not prepared to furnish such particulars.
