§ 2. Mr. BYRNEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will grant a sworn inquiry into the circumstances of the death of Councillor Richard O'Carroll, secretary of the Dublin Bricklayers' Trade Union and chairman of the Dublin Labour Party, who it is alleged was unarmed and was shot without trial?
§ Mr. TENNANTNo, Sir, I do not think there is a case for inquiry. Richard O'Carroll took an active part in the rebellion and was wounded during the fighting on the 26th April. He was armed. He was taken on that day to the Military Hospital, Portobello Barracks, and died of his wounds there on the 5th May.
