asked the Minister for External Affairs whether, in view of the recent statement by Mr. Alfred Noyes concerning the so-called "Casement Diaries," he will make representations to the British Government to have the documents examined by independent experts; further, if he will ask the British Government to have the remains of Casement returned to Ireland.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Casement Documents.
I do not propose to make the representations suggested.
The matter of the return of Casement's remains is one of which the British Government is constantly kept aware.
I do not know whether my supplementary question arises out of this matter but I ask the indulgence of the Ceann Comhairle. Would the Minister make available to the Library a copy of the full text of Dr. Noyes' statement in regard to the matter?
I will consider that. I understand the letter was in the London Times.
I know but we do not all get the London Times.
It is available to Deputies in the Library.
The Minister might be kind enough to get new copies and lay them in the Library.
