CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CLONEE COMPENSATION CLAIM.
The application of the person named by the Deputy is at present being investigated by the Compensation (Personal Injuries) Committee, who will decide as early as possible whether it will be necessary to list the case for hearing. The letter referred to was received by the Committee, but as they were not in a position to communicate any definite information in regard to the case no reply was furnished.
Will the President say whether this letter will be replied to?
I take it it will.
