asked the Minister for Defence whether he is aware that Mr. E. Confrey, late Lieutenant Q.M.G. Staff, was discharged from the Army without being medically examined, and whether in view of the fact that this officer was injured by an explosion of a land mine at Tallaght in January, 1923, and is claiming a pension in respect of such injuries, he will take steps to have him medically examined and the claim decided on forthwith.
WRITTEN ANSWERS. - OFFICER'S COMPENSATION CLAIM.
I am aware that Mr. Confrey was, through an oversight, discharged from the Army without being medically examined. No claim for compensation appears to have been received from him, but if one should now be made steps will be taken to have him medically examined and his claim considered as quickly as possible.
