HC Deb 30 November 1916 vol 88 c515W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will give the names of all the non-combatant civilians, including women, killed by the military during the recent insurrection in Dublin and buried in Trinity College grounds; whether it was in those grounds they buried the boy Gerald Keogh, shot and bayoneted by them in Grafton Street and dragged into Cook's tourist office; and whether he will have that boy's coat examined and photographed, showing the nineteen wounds of which he died?

Mr. FORSTER

No non-combatants or women killed during the rebellion were buried in Trinity College grounds. Keogh was one of the party of armed rebels on bicycles who attempted to pass a military picquet at Trinity College on the 25th April. The medical officer reports that he was killed instantaneously by bullets. He was not bayoneted or dragged into Cook's office. The body was temporarily buried in the grounds of Trinity College, but was afterwards removed and buried by the municipal authorities. The military authorities are not in possession of his coat.
