asked the Minister for Defence whether he will now release Michael Keegan, Thomas Kearney, Patrick Lynam, and John Mooney, all of Hill of Down, Co. Meath, who were arrested with James Keegan and others, since released.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. [ ORAL ANSWERS. ] - HILL OF DOWN ARRESTS.
The men in question were not arrested with James Keegan, but were arrested 13 days later—namely, on the 20th June. They have within the last few days signed the usual form of undertaking, but I am awaiting information as to whether there is or is not a civil charge against them before considering the matter of their release.
