HC Deb 01 November 1920 vol 134 cc71-2W
Mr. KENYON

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any inquiry has been held into the death of Patrick O'Carroll, who was killed in Dublin on 16th October?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

A military court of inquiry in lieu of inquest was held in this case on the 19th October and gave the following finding. The court having considered the evidence are of opinion that Peter O'Carroll, civilian, died on the 16th October, 1920, from shock and hemorrhage resulting from a bullet wound inflicted by a person unknown on that day. The court are of opinion that this person unknown committed wilful murder. That owing to the omission of Mrs. O'Carroll, wife of the deceased, to obey the summons of the court to appear as a witness there is no evidence forthcoming to show under what circumstances the above wound was inflicted.
