HC Deb 23 November 1911 vol 31 c1361
Mr. JOHN ROCHE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, whether he is aware that, although no crime or outrage had been committed at Colmanstown, county Galway, there are fourteen police stationed there; and whether, in view of the peacable condition of that district, he will have the extra police removed?

Mr. BIRRELL

I am informed that there are thirteen police stationed at Colmanstown, and the responsible police authorities consider that it would be premature to withdraw or reduce this force.
