CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - COUNTY LIMERICK AWARD.

asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that a compensation award made by Judge Sealy in 1923 in favour of Miss Elizabeth Benn, of Annacotty, Lisnagry, Co. Limerick, in respect of damage done to shop furniture and the seizure of goods during the taking over of Tipperary town in 1922 has not been paid, and if he will have payment expedited.

I assume the case referred to is that in which William Benn obtained a report for £116 in respect of injuries sustained at Church Street, Tipperary. Payment of the report has been refused, as inquiries showed that the terms of Section 9 of the Damage to Property (Compensation) Act, 1923, were applicable to the case. Miss Elizabeth Benn has recently made representations in the matter and they are receiving consideration.
