To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that there is a police barracks at Crossdoney, county Cavan; how many men are stationed there; what is the population of the town, and how many inhabited houses are there; how many licensed houses; how near is this station to the nearest police barracks; is there a telephone and telegraph office in Crossdoney; and is it intended to continue this police station.

The police station at Crossdoney is occupied by four men. The village itself has a population of but seventy-five persons occupying eleven houses, but the district attached to the station is of considerable extent and has a population of 1,660 persons. The village contains no licensed houses, but has a telegraph and telephone office. The station is two and a half miles distant from the next adjacent station. The question whether it may be possible to abolish the station at Crossdoney has recently been under the consideration of the police authorities, but a decision has not yet been arrived at.
