HC Deb 27 July 1916 vol 84 cc1847-8
30. Mr. LYNCH

asked how many prisoners from county Clare are still detained in connection with the rising; whether regard will be paid to the peaceable condition of the county; and whether all these men will be restored to their homes as soon as possible?

Mr. SAMUEL

I understand that two men from county Clare are still detained. Their cases are still under consideration by the Advisory Committee.

Mr. LYNCH

If there are only two men, and there has never been any disturbance, would it not be well to release these two men?

Mr. SAMUEL

I must necessarily await the recommendation of the Advisory Committee. All the other men from Clare who were detained have been released.
