asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that four horses were commandeered by the Government in July, 1922, from Mrs. S.A. Young, Barrack View, Naas; that three of the horses had just been sold on commission; that the fourth, the property of Mrs. Young, was returned after nearly three months in a seriously damaged condition, and if he will see that this lady is duly compensated for loss sustained.

I understand that Mrs. Young is about to make a claim arising out of the commandeering of horses. When received, the claim will be given due attention.
I would like to inform the Minister that a claim has been sent in long ago.
