The Medical Inspector is arranging a tour of duty in West Cork, and will visit Clonakilty in about three weeks' time. He will then examine the claimants for the blind pension, including Miss Donovan, and also the pensioners in whose cases questions as to blindness have been raised. Notice of the time of the visit will be given to Miss Donovan, and the decision on her case will be issued at once on receipt of the Inspector's report.
