In Collection: Erskine Childers Papers
Description:Maire Comerford summarizes the Red Cross report: that prisoners are accorded prisoner-of-war status even if the status is not admitted, treatment is "devoid of all hostile spirit", satisfactory medical treatment, and the North Dublin Union will be satisfactory to move female prisoners to, though it concedes overcrowding is an issue. Maire Comerford argues that the overcrowding problem is the cause of their other problems, and that the carrying of guns by the guards constitutes a "hostile spirit"
