HC Deb 17 April 1917 vol 92 c1505
22. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland on what grounds and under what Statute the Censor in Ireland has stopped the advertisement in Irish newspapers of a portrait of Roger Casement, published by O'Healy, of Dublin, and prohibited shopkeepers from selling the portrait, seeing that other portraits of Casement are being freely sold; whether this prohibition extends to England also; whether portraits of any other Irish patriot martyrs are under a similar prohibition; and, if so, will he name them?

Mr. DUKE

I am informed that the Press Censor in Ireland has given warning as to the publication of advertisements which appeared to him to be contrary to the Defence of the Realm Regulations, but that he has not prohibited the sale of portraits as suggested in the question.
