HC Deb 02 November 1911 vol 30 cc1136-7W
Mr. J. P. FARRELL

asked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that at the present time the resident magistrate, county inspector, and three district inspectors in charge of county Longford are members of the Protestant communion, whereas ninety per cent. of the population of Longford is Roman Catholic; and whether, in view of a vacancy in the police officership of one of the districts, opportunity will be taken to see that a Roman Catholic is put in charge?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a similar question asked by him on the 28th March last.
