asked the Minister for Defence whether he is aware that a number of officers who were demobilised shortly before July 30th are ineligible either for grant or for a grant to provide civilian clothes, and whether he will consider the possibility of making some grant in cases where the officer was demobilised for no fault of his own, and against his will owing to reduction of establishment.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - POSITION OF DEMOBILISED OFFICERS.
Prior to the 15th September, 1923, there was no case of an officer being demobilised for no fault of his own or against his will.
Were not some of the officers of the Railway Protection Corps demobilised on the reduction of the establishment about the middle of July, this year?
If I can have any particular case specified, I will have the matter inquired into.
I will send particulars of cases to the Minister.
