HC Deb 09 August 1916 vol 85 c1044
59. Mr. BYRNE

asked the Home Secretary if he can say whether the wounded Irish prisoners transferred from Dublin hospitals to English prisons have yet been before the Advisory Committee, and what are their recommendations; and if he can give the names of those to be released?

Mr. SAMUEL

I have not complete information as to all the prisoners who may at some time have been in hospital; but on 8th July I received a list of seventeen then in hospital in Dublin. Of these, five are unfit for removal, and the orders for their internment have been revoked. Of the remaining twelve, nine have been released, and three remain interned on the recommendation of the Advisory Committee. It would be contrary to practice to give lists of names in answer to questions.
