asked the Minister for Justice if the Government intends making any statement in connection with the murder of Vice-Admiral Henry Boyle Somerville.
Private Notice Question. - Murder of Vice-Admiral Somerville.
I did not intend to make any statement on this matter on behalf of the Government, as the coroner's inquest has not yet been held and the police investigations are still in their early stages. I take, however, the opportunity afforded by the Deputy's question to express the Government's sympathy with the relatives of the victim of this cowardly crime and its determination to take every possible step to bring those responsible to justice.
