The Arklow, Dublin, and Limerick cases have been published in the Press, and the inquest in Milltown Malbay has not concluded. Military courts of inquiry have been held in these cases, and it is not proposed to publish their findings.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYMay I ask if this House cannot be put in possession of the findings in these cases in which crowds were fired at, and the circumstances which led up to them?
§ Mr. HENRYThat being a military matter, I would ask the hon. Gentleman to address it to the War Office.
