HC Deb 27 June 1921 vol 143 cc1798-9
88. Lieut.-Colonel ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Chief Secretary whether he has any information as to the burning of Skibbereen workhouse and of Bandon workhouse on the 22nd and 23rd of June?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

am not yet in a position to give full particulars of these cases, but the Commander-in-Chief informs me that he has received a telegraphic report that Bandon Workhouse was seized by the rebels on the 23rd June. They remained for about an hour, and burned the building on leaving.
