HC Deb 18 March 1901 vol 91 c252
MR. JAMES O'CONNOR

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can give the names of the witnesses summoned by Dr. Flinn on behalf of Nurse Joyce in connection with the recent Local Government Board inquiry at Shillelagh; also the names of those witnesses who gave evidence for Nurse Joyce and of those who did not give evidence.

MR. WYNDHAM

The names of the persons summoned were Mrs. Brennan, Mrs. Nolan, Mrs. Moran, Mrs. Gregan, Mrs. Kavanagh, Mrs. M'Donald, Mr. Nolan, Mr. James. The first four gave evidence, the others either failed to attend the inquiry, or left before it concluded. Three other witnesses who were not summoned also gave evidence on behalf of the nurse—namely, the Rev. Mr. Busher, Mr. Trayner, and Mr. Byrne, chairman of the guardians.

MR. JAMES O'CONNOR

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that a week ago he told me in answer to a question that sixteen witnesses had been examined?

*MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!
