Vol. 6 No. 40

WRITTEN ANSWERS. - ARREST OF KILTIMAGH (MAYO) MAN.

asked the Minister for Defence whether it is Develish, Cloofalla, Kiltimagh, Co. proposed to release Wm. Halligan, of Mayo, who was arrested in March, 1923, and is at present confined in Hare Park Camp, Curragh; whether the Minister is aware that Halligan's father died on 29th November, and that General Hogan, of the Claremorris Command, on that occasion recommended his immediate release.

Mr. Halligan was charged before a military tribunal on the 23rd March, 1923, with possession of arms and ammunition, found guilty and sentenced to death. The sentence was commuted to twenty years' penal servitude. In the circumstances it is not practicable to release him.
