§ 14. Mr. GINNELLasked the Under-Secretary of State for War why no inquiry has yet been held into the shooting of Nurse Kehoe by soldiers while she was attending to the wounded in the South Dublin Union; on what grounds the military authorities intimated to Miss Kehoe's relatives that they would be well advised not to demand an inquiry; can he say what risk they would incur by demanding it; and whether, in the circumstances, a public inquiry into the death of Nurse Kehoe will be held while the facts are fresh in the minds of witnesses?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe hon. Member is mistaken. A careful inquiry into this case has been held and all the witnesses who could give information have been examined. The conclusion arrived at is that Nurse Kehoe was shot accidentally 1964 during the fighting. I would add that the military authorities never intimated to Miss Kehoe's relatives that they would be well advised not to demand an inquiry.
§ Mr. GINNELLHas the right hon. Gentleman made any inquiry in this case but from the military?
§ Mr. TENNANTI make my inquiries from the Irish Government.
