§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Prime Minister whether it was with the sanction of the Government that the bodies of the men recently executed in Ireland were buried at the places of execution; whether, in consideration of the public feeling in Ireland, the Government will now allow the removal and Christian 2932W burial of them all; should this be refused in any case, whether any public inquiry in a Civil Court will be allowed to vindicate the character of the deceased in such case; and should this also be refused, whether he will, while the facts are fresh in the minds of officers and men, cause a map or plan of the place of execution, with the point of burial marked theron, to be given to the relatives for use in better times?
§ Mr. TENNANTYes, Sir; it is not considered advisable to allow the removal of these bodies. No public inquiry is to be held, nor is it considered desirable to carry out the proposal in the last part of this question.
