asked the Minister for Defence whether he is aware that £10 was granted the father of Edward Donoghue, Sandymount, Birr, Offaly, as compensation for his death, which was caused by a soldier of the National Army, at Birr Castle, on August 29th, 1922. Whether he has received an appeal for the revision of this small amount and if he can state when he will be in a position to issue his final decision.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. [ORAL ANSWERS.] - OFFALY COMPENSATION PAYMENT.
I have received an appeal transmitted by the Deputy. I expect that a final decision in the matter will be taken very shortly.
