asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware that a claim for compensation made by Timothy Collins, Hollyhill, Glengarriffe, Co. Cork, in respect of the kidnapping and murder of his son on the 22nd of September, 1922, was rejected; whether the victim was employed at the Eccles Hotel, Glengarriffe, and contributed ten shillings per week to his parents' support, and whether the case will be reconsidered with a view to giving Collins some compensation.
