Mr. BYRNEasked the Prime Minister, whether the Government have issued any instructions to Irish employers to dismiss the relations of those who took part in the rising in Ireland; whether he is aware that a number of employers have given this as a reason for victimising their employés; if he is aware that such dismissals have caused a revulsion of feeling against the Government; and if he will take the necessary steps to prevent the employers connecting the Government with such proceedings?
Mr. SAMUELThe Government have issued no such instructions, nor am I aware of any employers having acted in the manner suggested.
§ Mr. BYRNEIf I submit proof to the right hon. Gentleman will he give the matter his consideration?
