HC Deb 16 December 1911 vol 32 c2855W
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, in view of the evidence given at the coroner's inquest on the body of Michael O'Leary, corn porter, Wexford, and of the verdict of the coroner's jury, he will have further inquiry made into the facts and circumstances surrounding the deceased's death and the conduct of the police in Wexford on Thursday, the 7th September last?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Irish Government do not propose to hold any further inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Michael O'Leary or into the conduct of the police in Wexford on the 7th September last. There has been already a full investigation at the inquest held by the coroner of the county of Wexford, and I am satisfied that the police did not act in excess of their duty.
