CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CLAIM FOR INJURIES.
An application from Mrs. Katherine Shortall, of Annagortha, Ballykieran, Athlone, for compensation in respect of personal injuries alleged to have been received by her on the 1st January, 1921, at the hands of British Forces was fully and carefully considered by the late Compensation (Personal Injuries) Committee, who, as a result of their investigations, recommended that no compensation should be paid. On consideration of the case, I saw no reason to depart from the findings of the Committee.
