§ Mr. DUFFYasked whether Messrs. Hynes and Dermody, two untried prisoners under arrest in Galway Gaol, were refused the right of seeing their relatives who called to see them recently; whether the rules of the prison forbid such visits; and whether the governor of the prison has the right to deprive untried prisoners of the privilege of being visited by their relatives pending trial?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe answer to the first part of this question is in the affirmative. I would refer the hon. Member to Rule 208 (2) of the Local Prison Rules (House of Commons Paper 129, 1902) under which the permission to see visitors was withheld in this case.
