§ 16. Mr. GINNELLasked the Secretary of State for War if he can now state the result of his inquiry with reference to Messrs. Lemass and Manning, left lying wounded in a courtyard in the Custom House, Dublin, for three days of the insurrection, thereby complicating their neglected wounds with other sickness; whether they have died or are recovering; and what the intention of the Government is with regard to them?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe General Officer Commanding-in-Chief states in reply to the inquiry made that no information bearing out the statements contained in this question has been received. It seems probable, therefore, that these allegations are without foundation, but inquiry is still being prosecuted.
§ Mr. GINNELLIs not one of these men dead and the other dying?
§ Mr. FORSTERI can only say that the General Officer Commanding says that no information bearing out the statement contained in the question has been received.
