asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that a Ford motor car, the property of Cornelius Molan, M.D., District Medical Officer, Ballynoe and Conna Dispensary, Fermoy, was commandeered by the National Army on 20th October, 1922; that he has made several applications for it; that he was told to call to Mícheál Barracks, Cork, and bring a motor engineer to examine car and be prepared to take back same; that he called there and found no trace of his car, and that it has not yet been returned to him, nor has he been compensated for its loss, and what steps, if any, shall be taken in the matter.
WRITTEN ANSWERS. - DOCTOR'S MOTOR CAR COMMANDEERED.
Dr. Molan was requested, on the 14th August last, to visit Mícheál Barracks, Cork, for the purpose of taking delivery of a car believed to be his. On calling, however, he could not give any particulars which would identify the car, and consequently it was not given to him. On the 31st ultimo his solicitors were requested to furnish the required particulars, but they have not yet replied. The case cannot be properly dealt with until Dr. Molan supplies the particulars referred to.
