asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he will state why a blind pension was withheld from John Foley, Stewart Street, Kilrush, between the dates of application, July 10th, 1923, and April 1st, 1924.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - BLIND PENSION (KILRUSH).
The medical evidence in this case showed that the applicant did not fulfil the statutory condition of blindness prior to the 1st April, 1924. A pension could not, therefore, have been legally granted to him for the period from 10th July, 1923, to the 1st April, 1924.
