asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce what is the reason for the delay in paying unemployment benefit to M. Hogan Kilcullen, Co. Kildare, Ref. No. E.B. 67124, and if he will speed up a settlement of this claim, so that this man may be saved from starvation.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. [ORAL ANSWERS.] - KILCULLEN UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT CASE.
Mr. O'HIGGINS (replying for the Asst. Minister for Industry and Commerce)
From the reference number given in the question, it is assumed that this is one of the ten cases about which a question was answered by the Deputy on the 18th inst. I have at present nothing to add to that answer, the circumstances under which the claim to benefit was made being still the subject of an investigation. I will see that there is no avoidable delay in completing it.
