asked the Minister for Defence if he can state the reason why Mrs. Brophy, of Thomas Street, Newbridge, Co. Kildare, has not received dependents' allowance for the last fifteen weeks in respect of her husband, Volunteer Joseph Brophy, Army No. 32528, Gough Barracks, Curragh Camp, and whether instructions will be given to have arrears of allowance paid to Mrs. Brophy at once.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - NEWBRIDGE DEPENDENTS' ALLOWANCE.
Mrs. Brophy's allowance was suspended owing to its having been reported that her husband was an absentee. It is regretted that his return to duty was not duly recorded, and that as a consequence the issue of the allowance was not duly resumed. Arrears of the allowance have now been paid.
