Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Longford Old I.R.A.

Mr. P.J. Burke (for Mr. Carter)

asked the Minister for Defence if he will state the total number of Old I.R.A. service medals issued to date to persons in County Longford.

Minister for Defence (General MacEoin)

Who is asking the question?

Mr. P.J. Burke

I am asking it for Deputy Carter.

General MacEoin

There has been objection to this, so that I want to make sure of its being asked.

The number of service (1917-1921) medals, without bar, issued to persons resident in County Longford is 587.

Mr. P.J. Burke (for Mr. Carter)

asked the Minister for Defence if he will state in respect of County Longford the names of all persons in receipt of Old I.R.A. service pensions and the amount of pension awarded in each case.

General MacEoin

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, a Cheann Comhairle, with your permission, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

Mr. P.J. Burke (for Mr. Carter)

asked the Minister for Defence if he will state the names and addresses of persons at present in receipt of special allowances for service in the Old I.R.A. in County Longford, and the amount of such allowance in each case.

General MacEoin

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, a Cheann Comhairle, with your permission, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

As it would be contrary to established departmental practice to supply the addresses of the persons concerned, I regret that such information cannot be supplied.

Following is the statement:—
