Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Árus Brugha.
Árus Brugha was purchased in fee simple in 1933 by the Provisional Committee of Management of the National Health Insurance Society. It is presumed that the Deputy's question relates to a dispute which arose in 1937 between the committee of management and a firm of building contractors who completed an extension of the building in 1936. A settlement was reached in May, 1938, following discussions between officers of the former National Health Insurance Society and the contractors.
