asked the Minister for Defence whether he is aware that a Ford car, the property of Mr. James Fogarty, of Whitefield Mills, Templemore, was seized by officers of the National Army on 19th July, 1922, and, if so, if he will state why Mr. Fogarty has not been compensated for his loss owing to the seizure of this car, and if, in view of the fact that Mr. Fogarty was dependent for his livelihood on his earnings from hiring the car, steps will be taken immediately to compensate him for the loss he has suffered.

Delay in settling Mr. Fogarty's claim is due to the difficulty in obtaining evidence that his car was in fact commandeered. It is hoped to settle the claim within a week.
