Mr. J. JONESasked the Chief Secretary whether Bernard Nolan, who was taken from his home at Rathfarnham on the night of the 1st April last and received injuries, with Christopher Reynolds, since deceased, and who had been a patient in King George V. Hospital, has recently been removed to Mountjoy Prison and is in close confinement there, notwithstanding that he is still suffering from grave injuries; whether any charge has been preferred against him; and whether he will, in view of the fact that Nolan was in delicate health prior to his arrest, direct his release in order that he may be removed to a private hospital for proper treatment?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODThis man has been discharged from King George V. Hospital to Mountjoy Prison as stated in the question. He was at the time of discharge, and is now, fit for such discharge. I do not see my way to order his release at the moment; but I am giving the case careful consideration. He was arrested on suspicion of taking part in attacks on Crown forces.
