HC Deb 09 July 1917 vol 95 cc1606-7
83. Mr. LYNCH

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the remains of the men executed in consequence of the rebellion in Dublin will now be delivered to their relatives, so that they may be buried in consecrated ground?

Mr. DUKE

I would refer to the answer which I gave the hon. Member for North Westmeath on the 22nd June.

Mr. LYNCH

Would the right hon. Gentleman reconsider this question, seeing that the request is not a great one, and that the matter is important in regard to the deep-seated piety of the Irish people?

Mr. DUKE

I do not think that I can usefully add anything to what I have said.
