asked the Minister for Defence if he will arrange to have the closing date for the receipt of applications for Pre-Truce period Service Medals extended.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Applications for Service Medals.
The question of extending the time for making application for Pre-Truce Service Medals is now under consideration.
In view of the undertaking given by the Minister's predecessor, I should like to know if consideration will be given to this matter immediately and I should also like to know if the Minister is aware that many grave cases of hardship exist as a result of medals not being given to those who are entitled to receive them?
The Deputy asks me if consideration will be given to this matter immediately. Consideration is being given to it at the present moment.
