asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that repeated applications have been made by Mr. Charles Kavanagh, Neville Street, New Ross, for a sum of £35 claimed to be due to him for the use of lorries during 1922, and if he will state when the claim will be dealt with.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - USE OF A LORRY (CLAIM FOR PAYMENT).
Several applications have been received from Mr. Kavanagh, who was informed on the 17th instant that his claim had been disallowed. I am having it reconsidered and will communicate the result to the Deputy at an early date.
Will the Minister say why the claim was disallowed?
I think it was disallowed for the reasons that it did not come as a charge upon the Army fund. But I am having the case reopened and I will see if the man is entitled to any money that he will get it.
