CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CO. CLARE COMPENSATION CLAIMS.
The application referred to by the Deputy was investigated by the Compensation (Personal Injuries) Committee who recommended that no compensation should be paid. As the injuries sustained by the applicant were not serious enough to require medical treatment, I see no reason why the case should be re-opened.
