§ Mr. BYRNEasked the Home Secretary if he is aware of the treatment that the two brothers Nunan have been subject to since the rising in Ireland; if he will cause instructions to be issued that they should not be treated any worse than other Irishmen who took part in the rising in Ireland; and if he will order their release?
Mr. SAMUELBoth these young men were of military age; they were born in London and had been living there, and both had received notices calling them up for military service under the Military Service Acts. Nevertheless, they went to Dublin shortly before Easter, and when there took part in the rebellion. In view of these circumstances I revoked the orders for their internment, in order that they might be dealt with in the usual way by a Court of Summary Jurisdiction for evading their duties under the Military Service Acts.
