Ceist:125 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for Defence when the Old IRA death grant will be paid in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Death Grant.
The pensioner referred to died on 19 March 1992. In subsequent correspondence with a member of his family, this Department indicated that, when the Grant of Probate of the pensioner's will was extracted, it should be forwarded to the Department. Payment of any moneys due would then receive attention.
The Grant of Probate has not yet been received by this Department but, if the pensioner's family can forward a receipted bill for funeral expenses, payment of a funeral grant will be arranged.
