Glenhest Police Station, County Mayo.

HC Deb 23 March 1914 vol 60 cc51-2W

Mr. DANIEL BOYLE

asked the Chief Secretary on what grounds it is considered necessary to maintain a police hut at Glenhest, county Mayo, and if he is aware that the district in question is absolutely crimeless, and that there have not been more than ten Petty Sessions cases in the last five years?

Mr. BIRRELL

Glenhest is a permanent police station, and its retention is necessary, as it would be practically impossible to efficiently patrol the district from the adjoining stations, which are about seven miles distant.
