asked the Minister for Defence whether he has received a claim for £2 16s. 0d. from Miss McGovern, Terryglass, Borrisokane, Co. Tipperary, in respect of tobacco stolen by a soldier of the National Army, who was subsequently convicted and imprisoned for the offence, and, if so, whether he can arrange to have the claim paid without further delay.
WRITTEN ANSWERS. - COMPENSATION CLAIM (BORRISOKANE).
DOMHNALL O MUIRGHEASA
A claim for £2 16s. 0d. has been received from Miss McGovern. In view of the fact that the claimant admits that this was a case of larceny the claim cannot be admitted as a charge against Army Funds, and Miss McGovern was so informed on the 15th ultimo.
