HC Deb 22 June 1916 vol 83 c307
65. Mr. BYRNE

asked the Prime Minister whether he has received any resolutions from Dublin requesting the Government to compensate the dependants of non-combatants who were killed or injured in the recent rising in Ireland; if he will consider the advisability of granting compensation for loss of life as well as property; and if he will receive a deputation in reference to the question of compensation for loss of life?

Mr. SAMUEL

My right hon. Friend has received representations in the sense indicated by the hon. Member. The obligations to be undertaken by the State in respect of the recent outbreak in Ireland have been carefully considered, and I am unable to hold out any hope of an extension of the terms already made public.
