But where does that say that the British would send Brits back to Ireland?
Edit: The article mentions a single example of an escapee being sent back from Northern Ireland, not GB.
> He had lunch at a nearby hotel, left without paying and made his way to nearby Dublin, where he boarded the first train to Belfast in Northern Ireland. To his surprise, his superiors were far from pleased when he reported at his base and he was quickly sent back across the border to the internment camp.
It seems like the emphasis was on whether the escape came about from (perceived) Irish apathy or as a "legitimate" escape attempt. The Brits would return a prisoner who violated the terms of their day parole, but not those who legitimately escaped.
