Vol. 4 No. 22

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. [ORAL ANSWERS.] - DAMAGE TO PROPERTY (COMPENSATION) ACT—POSITION OF CLAIMANTS.

asked the Minister for Finance whether it is absolutely necessary that claimants under the Damage to Property (Compensation) Act, 1923, who have already served notices in compliance with the Resolution of Dáil Eireann, dated November, 1922, upon the Secretary, Ministry of Finance, the Secretary of the County Council or Town Clerk of the County Borough Council, and the Clerk of the Crown and Peace of the area affected, should now re-serve the same notices in triplicate, as prescribed by the Minister for Finance, under Rule, dated July 9th, 1923, made in pursuance of Section 4 of the above Act, or whether he will authorise such claimants to take up the copy served on the Secretary or Town Clerk of the local authority and serve it upon the State Solicitor, leaving the services already made upon the Ministry of Finance and the Clerk of the Crown and Peace to stand as sufficient compliance with his Rule.

The Order to which the Deputy refers is intended to apply only to cases in which application is made after the passing of the Act. I had, before the Act was passed, requested each local authority to transmit to the State Solicitor concerned the copies of applications lodged with it in compliance with the public notice issued on 21st November, 1922, pursuant to the Resolutions of Dáil Eireann.
