Captain CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary whether Sir Heffernan Considine, Deputy-Inspector-General of the Royal Irish Constabulary, will retire from the service during the current financial year; and, if so, whether his place will be filled by promotion or by the appointment of some person from outside the Royal Irish Constabulary?
§ Mr. BIRRELLSir Heffernan Considine has not intimated his intention of retiring during the current year, and consequently the question of filling up his place has not arisen.
