§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he has yet ascertained the number of unarmed civilians killed by South Stafford soldiers in North King Street, Dublin, during and after the insurrection; why no report has been made of, and no one yet tried for, the killing of Thomas Hickey, his young son, and a man named Connolly, all unarmed non-combatants, on the night of the 28th April in the house 168, North King Street; why the evidence of the woman witness, whom the soldiers threatened to bayonet if she spoke, has never been taken; whether, in consideration of her terror of soldiers, it will be taken by a non-military authority; whether the full public inquiry promised into the North King Street cases will comprise this case; and in what way compensation is to be made to the dependants of the men so slain?
§ The PRIME MINISTERInquiries are being made into this matter and, so far as they have gone, they do not support the allegations contained in this question.
