CEISTEANNA.—QUESTIONS. [ORAL ANSWERS.] - DISCHARGED SOLDIER'S PAY.
The facts are as stated. Hitherto men who re-attested after the 8th October last have not been entitled to 28 days' furlough with pay and allowance prior to discharge. The matter is now being re-considered and I will communicate further with the Deputy concerning Mr. Conroy's case.
