asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that a bullock, the property of Edward Mulligan, of Hazelhill, Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, was killed on the public road between Ballyhaunis and Claremorris in August, 1922, by a motor lorry driven by military, while the owner was in charge of his cattle driving them to their usual watering place, and whether the amount of compensation, viz., £12, claimed by Mulligan Will be paid.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - BULLOCK KILLED BY MILITARY.
A claim on behalf of Mr. Mulligan has been very recently lodged at Headquarters, and is now under investigation.
Mr. O'CONNELL
Can the Minister say if a former claim lodged about twelve months ago was dealt with?
I have no information about a former claim. The statement was that it was lodged recently.
