Vol. 4 No. 24

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. [ ORAL ANSWERS. ] - MOTOR CAR COMMANDEERED.

asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware that a motor care, the property of Mr. Joseph Cuffe, Tyrrellspass, Westmeath, was commandeered by British Forces in December, 1920, and returned useless in October, 1921, and further, whether he is aware that Mr. Wallace, Solicitor, Mullingar, lodged a claim for £500, in respect of same, and whether the Minister can state when the claim is likely to be dealt with, as Mr. Cuffe is a poor man, with a large family, and this car was his only means of livelihood, and will the Minister see that payment is expedited.

No claim on behalf of Mr. Joseph Cuffe in respect of the loss referred to has been lodged with me, but I have ascertained that the case is awaiting investigation by the Compensation (Ireland) Commission. Until an award by the Commission has been notified to me no question of payment will, of course, arise.
