asked the Minister for Social Welfare when a deserted wife's allowance will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Louth; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The claim to deserted wife's allowance/benefit of the person concerned is at present under investigation.
The claimant has been visited by a local officer of the Department but it is also necessary to have her husband interviewed in order to obtain his version of the circumstances which led to the break-up of the marriage. An officer will call on him inside the next few days, and when the report of this interview is received a decision will be given in the case without delay and the claimant will be notified.
