asked the Minister for Defence whether a claim for dependent's allowance has been received from Mrs. Susan Kane, Beechmount, Navan, Co. Meath, in respect of her son, Private Bernard Kane, No. 2363, Newbridge Barracks; whether the said claim will receive immediate consideration with a view to having payment made.
WRITTEN ANSWERS. - NAVAN DEPENDENT'S ALLOWANCE CLAIM.
The claim of Mrs. Kane was disallowed after due investigation on the ground that the amount normally contributed by her son to his home over and above the cost of his own maintenance therein for a reasonable period prior to his enlistment was less than the minimum required by regulations, 12s. per week, before an allowance may be issued. Mrs. Kane was notified accordingly on the 16th July last.
