asked the Minister for Defence whether he is now in a position to clear up the cases of late members of the Railway Protection and Maintenance Corps of the National Army in respect of their unemployment contributions still outstanding, in order that such men may receive benefit.
CEISTEANNA.—QUESTIONS. [ORAL ANSWERS.] - BENEFIT FOR DEMOBILISED SOLDIERS.
Arrangements have recently been made with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce whereby deductions made from the pay of certain members of the late Railway Protection, Repair and Maintenance Corps in respect of Unemployment Insurance are at present being credited to the insurance accounts of the men concerned. The work will be completed at a very early date. Unemployment Benefit will then be payable to such of those men as are otherwise eligible to receive it.
