asked the Minister for Defence whether an application has been made to him by Mr. M. Clavin, of Station House, Ballymoe, Co. Roscommon, for the return of a gun seized by the British Authorities, and whether in view of the fact that it has been intimated to Mr. Clavin that the gun cannot be traced, it is proposed to pay compensation to the applicant.
WRITTEN ANSWERS. - RETURN OF SEIZED GUN.
Further enquiries are being made with a view to tracing Mr. Clavin's gun, and the result will be communicated to the Deputy in due course.
The matter of compensation will be one for consideration only when it has been definitely established that the gun cannot be found.
