asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he has received an application for an old age pension in respect of James, Cranny, Boggan, Kilbride, Tullow; and whether, in view of the fact that a sworn affidavit as to his age has been furnished to his Department, he will expedite the payment of pension.
CEISTEANNA.—QUESTIONS. [ORAL ANSWERS.] - TULLOW OLD AGE PENSION CLAIM.
EAMON O DUBHGHAILL
This claim was disdisallowed on the 10th May last, on the ground of insufficient evidence of age. A letter asking for an affidavit was sent to the Deputy on the 14th February last, but I cannot trace that it has since been received.
If, however, the claimant is now in a position to produce more definite or conclusive evidence of age, it is open to him to make a fresh claim to the pension officer in the usual way.
