HC Deb 27 June 1921 vol 143 cc1797-8
86. Mr. LAWSON

asked the Chief Secretary whether he has any information about the case of two men named John and Patrick Watters, who were taken from their house in Dundalk on the 19th instant by a party of men stated to have been wearing trench coats, placed against a wall and shot; and whether their murderers have yet been traced?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I have not yet received the full report of the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry, but I am informed that the Court found that these men were wilfully murdered by some person or persons unknown. I regret to say that no arrests have been made.

Mr. DEVLIN

Have any arrests ever been made of men who have killed civilians?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

Yes.

Mr. DEVLIN

When?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

Put down a question.

Mr. DEVLIN

If I put down a question, I shall not get an answer.
