asked the Minister for Defence if he can say why no settlement has yet been made of the claims by Philip Lee and John Soden, Ballyjamesduff, Co. Cavan, for motors, petrol, etc., obtained by the Military from them in 1922, despite the fact that the account for same has been furnished many times.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CAVAN MOTOR OWNERS' CLAIMS.
SEAN MAC GIOLLA 'N RIOGH
A cheque for £9 14s. 0d. in settlement of Mr. Lee's claims, which amounted to £11 15s. 0d., was issued on the 18th ultimo.
No claim appears to have been received at Headquarters from Mr. Soden. If particulars are furnished to the Chief Claims Officer, Portobello Barracks, Dublin, the matter will have attention.
Would it be possible in connection with these questions to have replies circulated to Deputies who asked the questions? It would be very useful.
That has always been done. The Deputy will get used to that when he gets used to asking questions.
