asked the Minister for Defence if he will state when it is proposed to pay the outstanding account of £186 14s., for goods supplied in 1921 to the Army by Mr. M. P. O'Brien, merchant, Edenderry, Offaly.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - EDENDERRY ARMY ACCOUNT.
An account amounting to £23 19s. 1d. appears to be the only account received at Headquarters from Mr. O'Brien. Payment of the claim has not been made as the account arose during a period in respect of which claims cannot be discharged out of funds voted by the Dáil for the maintenance of the Army. The general question as to what extent and from what funds these claims may be settled, is receiving attention. Pending a decision, consideration of Mr. O'Brien's account must be deferred.
