Vol. 30 No. 4

Written Answers. - A Swinford Old Age Pension Claim.

asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he is aware that Mary McNulty, of Renbrack, Swinford, was awarded an old age pension of 10/- per week by the Sub-Committee of the Swinford Old Age Pension Committee on the 8th April, 1929, and that notwithstanding that affidavits were sworn by three old age pensioners confirming the findings of the Committee, the Pensions Officer appealed against the award, and if, under the circumstances, he will confirm the finding of the Committee.

An appeal is at present under consideration in this case arising out of a proposal by the Swinford Pension Sub-Committee to allow a pension of ten shillings a week. No definite evidence of the claimant's age has been produced, but declarations from several neighbours have been furnished which will receive consideration.
