To ask the Minister for Finance when it is possible for the proper Government Department to pay the half-year's rent due on the 30th June last to Mr. William Collins, of Garranjames, for land taken over from him for the Killeagh Airship Station; whether this man is in bad health, has a wife and young family, and, for private reasons as well, requires that this money would be paid immediately; and whether this property was transferred by the British Government to the Irish Government in March last?

SEAN O DUINNIN
The British Authorities have accepted liability for the payment of the rent for the Killeagh Airship Station, and the half-year's rent due 30th June last will accordingly be paid by the British Air Ministry. I have reason to think that payment will be made very shortly.
