HC Deb 29 May 1916 vol 82 cc2391-2
60. Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Prime Minister if the Government will consider the question of ordering a full public inquiry into the circumstances under which fourteen men who did not take any part in the recent revolt in Dublin were shot during the occupation by the military of houses in North King Street; and, if so, whether the relatives of such deceased persons will be entitled to be professionally represented?

Mr. SAMUEL

Most careful inquiries are now being made into this matter, and until the Prime Minister is in possession of their result he is not in a position to state whether a public inquiry is necessary or desirable.
