§ Mr. BYRNEasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will state the reasons for the arrests and deportation from their country last week of thirty-two Irishmen; if any charge was made against them; if he has been informed that many of the men deported had to leave wives, mothers, and children at home wholly unprovided for; if under the Act of Parliament which has been cited in those cases the men concerned are entitled to be notified beforehand and given a certain time to leave their home district instead of being forcibly conveyed therefrom without notice; and will he take steps to have definite charges formulated against these men and an opportunity given to rebut them?
§ Mr. DUKEI can add nothing to the statements I made in answer to questions and in Debate on Monday last.
