§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether appeals have reached him from the urban and rural district councils of Clonakilty, from the entire people of that town, and from the best known individuals and Government officials in its vicinity, urging the immediate release or immediate trial of the young men of that district now held as prisoners of war in this country; whether they will be at least informed what the charges against them is, in view of their complete freedom from connection with disturbance in Ireland; and where Peter Donovan, John Donovan, Timothy Crowley, John Crowley, Edward Sullivan, and James Walsh are now detained?
Mr. SAMUELAn appeal has reached me from the Clonakilty Urban District Council praying for the release of a number of young men of that district. As I have repeatedly informed the hon. Member, all the interned prisoners are informed by written notice of the grounds on which the order of internment is made. I have released Timothy and John Crowley. The other prisoners referred to in the question are at Frongoch, and their cases are now under the consideration of the Advisory Committee.
