Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Claim for Military Damage.
No claim appears to have been received in my Department from or on behalf of Mr. Patrick Hanlon in respect of damage to a plot and fruit trees by military in August, 1943. The records of my Department show that some damage to fences was caused by troops on exercises passing through Mr. Hanlon's lands in August, 1943. I am informed that such damage was repaired by the military. If Mr. Hanlon will, however, furnish particulars of his claim, investigation will be made.
