HC Deb 07 October 1909 vol 11 c2178
Mr. REDDY

asked the Chief Secretary whether he can state under what circumstances a man named Cavanagh, who had been remanded on a grave charge of assault, was allowed to escape from custody at Shinrone police barracks, King's County?

Mr. REDMOND BARRY

Proceedings are being taken against a constable in connection with the escape of the prisoner referred to. The matter is therefore sub judice, and it is not desirable to make any statement on the subject.

Mr. REDDY

Has Cavanagh been captured?

Mr. REDMOND BARRY

I will inquire. I cannot say off-hand.
