asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he is aware of the delay in dealing with the claim to an old age pension of John Scully, Hospital Street, Kildare, who was born on 31st August, 1856, and who handed a birth certificate with application to the local Pensions Officer on or about the 10th September, 1926, and whether he will expedite award of pension.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - OLD AGE PENSION APPLICATION (KILDARE).
This old age pension claim has not, so far, come before me on appeal, and I have, therefore, no functions in regard to it, nor have I any information about it. I have, however, transmitted a copy of the Deputy's question and of my reply to the Minister for Finance with a view to having an inquiry made from the Revenue Commissioners.
