asked the Minister for Finance whether, in view of the considerable losses suffered by a great number of farmers owing to the seizure of Messrs. Cleeves' Creameries in 1922, arrangements will be made whereby farmers will be compensated for their losses?
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - SEIZURE OF CLEEVES' CREAMERIES.
The exact nature of the losses sustained by the farmers in question is not mentioned by the Deputy. Any persons, however, who consider that they are entitled to compensation under the provisions of the Damage to Property (Compensation) Act, 1923, have, no doubt, lodged their applications in accordance with the terms of the Act. Such applications will be heard by the County Courts in due course. Every effort is being made to expedite the disposal of compensation claims by the Courts.
