Written Answers. - County Cork Old Age Pension Claim.
The old age pension granted to Mrs. Mary Cahalane, Lissarourke, Enniskeane, County Cork, in 1929 was withdrawn on the 28th September, 1936, because it was ascertained that she had not attained the statutory age.
Mrs. Cahalane was granted a fresh pension as from the 7th of May, 1937, inclusive. This pension is being withheld to recover the amount of pension money overdrawn by her during the years 1929-36. When the debt is recovered the pension granted in May, 1937, will be restored.
