52. Mr. BYRNE

asked the Prime Minister if he will cause the Irish prisoners who were tried and sentenced by court-martial to be treated as political prisoners or released; and if he will submit to the House the evidence for and against the prisoners which was taken at courts-martial?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. With regard to the second part I have already promised that these reports shall be published in due course.
