CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - A LIFFORD ARMY ACCOUNT.
The amount mentioned as being due to Mr. Bryson appears to be in respect of accounts which have been settled. Applications for payment have been made on various dates. The Claims Officer of the Donegal Command did call on Mr. Bryson in April last, but the particulars subsequently furnished to Headquarters were not sufficient to enable the matter to be adjusted. With a view to an expeditious conclusion of the case a detailed statement is being furnished to Mr. Bryson in respect of all payments which have been made to him.
