Property Losses (Ireland) Committee

The Property Losses (Ireland) Committee was a committee established by the Dublin Castle administration in Ireland in 1916 to assess claims for damages to buildings and property as a result of destruction caused by the Easter Rising. Although principally concerned with claims from Dublin residents and businesses, the committee assessed claims associated with the insurrection from across Ireland. It considered damages resulting from the actions of British forces, Irish rebels and looters, with over 7,000 claims being investigated. The committee's final report was submitted to the British government on 7 April 1917, after which compensation grants were issued by HM Treasury on the committee's recommendation.
