asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that a billetting account, due to Mr. P.J. Flattery, Merchant, Dunmore; Co. Galway, is still unpaid, though incurred some twelve months ago; that the account has been certified by the Command Quarter-Master and items repeatedly furnished to Claims Department, Portobello; and whether he will see that payment is expedited.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - DUNMORE BILLETTING ACCOUNT.
Certified claims received from Mr. Flattery have been paid. A claim amounting to £57 13s 6d is in hands, and delay in payment is due to a difficulty in getting certification. I am having a special effort made to have the claim certified and it will be paid as soon as possible.
