asked the Minister for Finance whether he can state the reason for the delay in paying to the Ballylongford Co-operative Agricultural and Dairy Society, Ltd., the sum of £300 awarded to them by the Compensation (Ireland) Commission as far back as August 17th, 1925: and whether he will have this payment made at once, in view of the fact that this money is of considerable importance to this Society.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - BALLYLONGFORD CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY COMPENSATION AWARD.
Payment of the award referred to by the Deputy was held up to enable the Society to effect adjustment of a comparatively small sum for Income Tax arrears claimed by the Revenue Commissioners. No steps have, apparently, been taken by the Society to clear the matter and recovery will accordingly be effected without further delay by deduction from the award, the balance being paid to the Society.
