Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - I.R.A. Pensions.

Mr. O'Leary

asked the Minister for Defence if he will state, in respect of County Wexford, the names of the persons in receipt of Old I.R.A. pensions under the Military Service Pensions Acts, and the amount of the pension awarded in each case.

General MacEoin:

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, a Cheann Comhairle, with your permission, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

Mr. Gogan:

Does the Minister consider it a desirable practice to give this information about I.R.A. pensions and I.R.A. allowances by way of parliamentary question?

An Ceann Comhairle:

That is an entirely separate question.

General MacEoin:

If I might say so, since 1924 it has been the practice when a Deputy puts down a question asking for these names that he gets them. I do not know whether it is good or bad, but it has been a practice followed here and utilised very fully by the Deputy's colleagues.
