asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that Mrs. Mary White, 8 Room, B. Block, Benburb Street, Dublin, has been awarded the sum of £55 for the loss of her eldest son, Patrick White, aged 19 years, who was shot dead in North King Street on June 29th, 1922, and £10 for injuries to her eldest daughter, who was shot in the leg on June 28th, 1922; that her daughter was a teacher of Irish dancing and has been unable to follow that occupation, and consequently has been deprived of her means of living as a result of the injuries received, and if he will take steps to have the awards in these cases reconsidered.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - DUBLIN COMPENSATION CLAIM.
The application of Mrs. Mary White in respect of the death of her son was fully investigated by the Compensation (Personal Injuries) Committee who came to the conclusion that there was no dependency of the applicant upon deceased. The amount awarded, £55, was sufficient to cover any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.
In regard to the application of Miss White, I have nothing to add to the reply given to the question asked by the Deputy on the 26th March last relative to this case.
