§ 14. Mr. GINNELLasked, seeing that all the wounded non-combatant civilians in the Dublin hospitals have maintained throughout that they have been wounded by the military and not by the Irish forces, whether depositions on this point have been taken from those of them who have died of their wounds; and whether two non-military persons, such as clergymen or magistrates, will be appointed to take the depositions on this point of those who still live?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe assumption made in this question is not according to facts. There is no reason to make any further arrangements than those now obtaining. Every endeavour is being made to discover the truth or otherwise of statements made by wounded non-combatants.
§ Mr. GINNELLWill the right hon. Gentleman inform the House why the Government shrink from asking these sick people in hospital by whom they were wounded?
§ Mr. TENNANTOn the contrary, there is no shrinking at all. Every endeavour is being made to ascertain what actually did occur.
