§ 17. Mr. GINNELLasked the Secretary of State for War the number of funerals from Dublin to Glasnevin, after the suppression of the insurrection, which even the nearest relatives were not allowed to accompany, with the official reason for this prevention; the number of coffins burst open on the way by the military and police, with the official reason for this desecration; whether anything was found in any of the coffins to justify this interference; and, in view of the Irish feeling that the dead should be inviolable, will he say who was responsible for what was regarded as a violation of the dead and an outrage on the living?
§ Mr. FORSTERThis question was answered by my right hon. Friend the 318 present Secretary for Scotland on the 6th July. It is not proposed to make inquiry on the points mentioned additional to that already made, the results of which were communicated to the hon. Member in, the answer given to him on the 10th May.
§ Mr. GINNELLWhat is the number of cases?
§ Mr. FORSTERIf the hon. Gentleman wishes, I will repeat the answer, at some future date, which has already been given.
