To ask the Minister for Defence whether it is a fact that the National Forces at Roscommon hold a Chevrolet car the property of Joseph O'Dea, of Lake View House, Glenamaddy, whether the car has been in the possession of the Military for over four months, whether the owner, who carries on a motor hiring business, has, in consequence suffered considerable loss, and whether he will give instructions to have this car restored at once. Further, if he will say whether Mr. O'Dea will be compensated for loss of business due to the withholding of the car, and for cost of repairs consequent on its use meantime by the Military. Also if he will inquire whether a sum of £16, due to Mr. O'Dea by the Army authorities, and for which application has yet been made on several occasions has yet been paid him, and if not will he see that the matter gets immediate attention.
