asked the Minister for Local Government whether the Presiding Officers, Poll Clerks, and those engaged in the counting of votes at the recent Parliamentary Election of the County Mayo, have been yet paid; and, if not, whether he will have them paid without further delay.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - PAYMENT OF CO. MAYO ELECTION OFFICIALS.
I have been asked by the Minister for Local Government to answer this question.
No vouchers have yet been received from the Returning Officer showing that the services indicated have not yet been paid for, but advances have been made by the Ministry of Finance to him which should be ample to enable him to pay to the officials mentioned their fees, which are fixed by a prescribed scale. I am having inquiries made in the matter.
