asked the Minister for Finance whether he has received a request for payment of a subscription of £2 to Dáil Eireann (Internal) Loan, 1919-1920, from Mr. James Quinlan, Kilclooney, Kildorrery, Co. Cork, and, if so, how soon it is intended to pay him.
Written Answers. - Dáil Eireann Loan.
An application for repayment in respect of a sum of £2 stated to have been subscribed by him to the Dáil Eireann Internal Loan, has been received from Mr. James Quinlan of Kilclooney, Kildorrery, but there is no record in my Department of the payment of the sum in question. A list of persons who are stated to have subscribed to the loan in the Kildorrery district has recently been received and is being investigated. The list contains an entry of a sum of £2 in the name of Mr. James Quinlan. No evidence has yet been furnished, however, to show that the total amount represented by the list was received in the Dáil Department of Finance, and consequently I am not at present in a position to indicate when repayment to Mr. James Quinlan may be authorised.
