The delay in authorising repayment of the amount referred to in the Deputy's question is mainly due to the fact that the official receipts held by the transferers were not furnished to my Department until a comparatively recent date. Authority to issue Savings Certificates to Mr. Maurice McNamara which will enable him to obtain repayment will be given to the Accountant, Department of Posts and Telegraphs, before the end of this month.
