Written answers

Minister for Defence (Deputy Willie O’Dea)

I am advised by the Military authorities that there are no official reports into the deaths of persons in the three incidents as referred to by the Deputy. The three areas referred to are referenced in a file (CW/OPS/12/C) in the Civil War Operations collections which is held in Military Archives, Cathal Brugha Barracks. This file is available for inspection by appointment with the Military Archives should the Deputy so wish.

I am further advised by the Military authorities that other potential sources of information on these incidents include the manuscripts section of the National Library of Ireland and the National Archives.

Question No. 254 withdrawn.
