CEISTEANNA.—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - HORSE INJURED BY MILITARY TENDER.

asked the Minister for Defence whether he is aware that a horse, the property of Jeremiah O'Leary, Dunbeacon, Dorrus, was injured in a collision with a military tender driven by Sergeant Duffy, of the National Army, at Abbey Road, Bantry, Co. Cork, on 19th May, 1923; whether an inquiry was subsequently held, at which O'Leary was present and where he was informed that the findings were being forwarded to Cork; whether he will state what the findings were, and when O'Leary, who is a poor man, will be compensated for the loss he has sustained?

A Court of Enquiry exonerated the driver of the military car from all blame. The question of compensating Mr. O'Leary is under consideration.
