asked the Minister for Finance if it is the practice of his Department to claim costs when a claim by transferred officers fails before the Transferred Officers' Compensation Board and, further, if he will assure the pensioned officers that they will not be held liable for costs when their claim is unsuccessful before the board.
Written Answer. - Costs Claim Against Transferred Officers.
Mr. Byrne
It has been the practice for each side to bear its own costs in relation to any claims dealt with by the Civil Service (Compensation) Board, and the latter part of the Deputy's question does not therefore arise.
