§ Mr. SLOANasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that many months ago it was contemplated to supply six baths at the Royal Irish Constabulary depot for the use of the reserve and recruits, and that two only have since been supplied, which have been allocated to the offices' quarters; and what steps are being taken to supply the rank and file of this large establishment with washing accommodation?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThere are four bathrooms fitted for hot and cold water for the men at the Royal Irish Constabulary Depot. It was not found possible to include provision for additional baths in the Estimates for the current year. The application, therefore, stands over for consideration in next year's Estimates. No additional baths have been provided in the officers' quarters, but one was provided last year in the cadets' quarters.
