Vol. 6 No. 40

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - KNOCKLONG PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state why the claim of Sean Croker, Emly, Knocklong, for compensation in respect of personal injuries inflicted by British troops was disallowed; if he is aware that this man was arrested, beaten with rifles, and that when he tried to escape he was fired on and wounded, and that he had to undergo five operations as a result of those wounds.

The claim in this case was disallowed as the Compensation (Personal Injuries) Committee were satisfied that there was no loss of earning capacity following on the wound received, and that no serious hardship was suffered by the applicant.
