Vol. 208 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Return of Casement Remains.

29.

asked the Minister for External Affairs if, in view of the recent statement by a Party member that the British Labour Party would be sympathetic to a proposal to have the body of Sir Roger Casement returned to Ireland, he will ask the British Foreign Secretary what the attitude of his Government is in the matter, and if they would be prepared to return Sir Roger's body to Ireland.

I have seen the statement referred to by the Deputy. As I explained in reply to a previous question on 29th October last, representations to the British Government to secure the return of the remains of Roger Casement have been renewed and will be actively pursued until, as we sincerely hope, effect is given to his last wishes.
