asked the Minister for Home Affairs if he has received an application from Mr. Gerald Byrne, Camolin, Co. Wexford, for payment due for acting as Special Constable at the last General Election, and, if so, when he proposes to give a direction to have same paid.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - SPECIAL CONSTABLE'S REMUNERATION (CAMOLIN, WEXFORD).
I have been asked to reply to this question.
The Returning Officer for County Wexford has paid all Special Constables employed at the last General Election, with the exception of three who are stated to have been employed in the Camolin District, and whose claims were not received by him until after he had rendered his account to the Ministry of Finance.
If it is found, in response to the inquiry addressed on the point to the Returning Officer, that these three Constables were formally appointed by him, he will be authorised to discharge the claims.
