§ 4. Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he is aware that the military authorities sent a bill for £34 4s. to the mother of the late Maurice Galvin for conveying the body of her son from Ballykinlar Camp to Tallow, County Waterford; what was the cause of the late Maurice Galvin's death at Ballykinlar Camp; and for what reason was he, a boy of 17 years, ever arrested?
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Colonel Sir Hamar Greenwood)I am informed by the Commander-in-Chief that the late Maurice Galvin was arrested as a lieutenant in the rebel forces. He died on 9th April from, uræmia, following acute nephritis. The relatives, on being notified, telegraphed to the Commandant of the Camp requesting him to despatch the remains to Tallow. Their wishes were complied with, but the military authorities have no power to defray expenses in cases of this kind.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the possibility of altering that state of affairs? May I have an answer?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThere are a great many questions on the Paper, and as many hon. Members as possible want to ask them in the time allotted.
