§ Mr. BOLANDasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he has considered the claims of retired members of the Royal Irish Constabulary to have an addition made to their pensions, whether temporary or otherwise, or whether steps will 1262W be now taken to refund, with interest, the amount paid by these men into the Royal Irish Constabulary Force Fund?
§ Mr. DUKEThe Government does not contemplate a revision of the scale of pensions, now fixed, of retired members of the Royal Irish Constabulary.
