§ 84. Mr. KINGasked whether, on or about 28th June, prisoners in Dundalk Gaol went on strike; if so, what was the alleged cause and how was the difficulty overcome?
§ Mr. SAMUELSI am informed by the General Prisons Board that on the 28th June the prisoners in Dundalk Prison decided to cease doing certain work which was optional on their part. The 322 cause of their action appears to have been their dissatisfaction with the approved dietary.
§ Mr. KINGWas it not really a fact that they were deprived of the food parcels they were receiving hitherto?
§ Mr. SAMUELSI have no information to that effect. My information is that they did not like the food.
