§ Mr. SHEEHANasked the Chief Secretary whether any negotiations have taken place on the part of the constabulary at Donoughmore, county Cork, with a view to acquiring a house from which a Mr. Buckley was evicted for the purposes of a police barrack; and, seeing that this man is endeavouring to effect a settlement at this moment which would enable him to go back to his former home, will he consider the advisability of recommending to the police authorities the desirability of withdrawing from the matter?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe police authorities inform me that they have not been in negotiation for the house in question, and do not propose to take it for a police barrack.
