asked the Minister for Defence if he will expedite the payment of dependent's allowance due in regard to Volunteer Bernard Cronin, who attested at Ennis on July 22nd, 1922, and was discharged on July 3rd, 1923, after 347 days' service?
WRITTEN ANSWERS. - DEPENDENT'S ALLOWANCE.
The claim for dependents' allowance was rejected on the grounds that there is not sufficient evidence to show that the contribution made by Volunteer Cronin towards his mother's home for a reasonable period prior to enlistment amounted to the minimum required by the regulations, 12s. per week, before an allowance may be issued.
