CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - COMPENSATION CLAIMS (CORK).
The question of granting compensation in the cases mentioned by the Deputy has been considered by the Compensation (Personal Injuries) Committee, which has made recommendations to the Minister for Finance. As a result, I am informed, £200 was paid to the dependents of the late William Dennehy on the 7th instant, and payments will shortly be made in the other cases.
