asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware that a claim for compensation for malicious injuries lodged by Messrs. T. McCarrick & Sons, Walker's Road, Sligo, in September, 1922, has not yet been heard, whether the hearing has been adjourned on the application of his department, and whether the case is likely to be heard at an early date.
WRITTEN ANSWERS. - HEARING OF COMPENSATION CLAIM.
A large number of applications for compensation under the Damage to Property (Compensation) Act, 1923, have been adjourned in Sligo, chiefly, I understand, because owing to pressure of business the Judge has been unable to deal with them. I am unable to indicate when this particular claim will be heard, but I will see that so far as my Department is concerned there will be no objection to the case being disposed of at the next sitting of the Court.
