asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that Private Thomas O'Connor (E/420663), St. Francis Terrace, Athlone, who was discharged from the Army as medically unfit, after serving one year and 135 days, has been refused a pension, although he has certificates from various doctors that he is unfit for work; and if he is prepared to consider this case under the 1946 Act.
