asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that a Ford Car, the property of Mr. J. M. O'Connor, of 71 Grand Parade, Cork, was commandeered by the military, under Captain O'Sullivan, in August last; that although repeated applications for its return have been made it has not been returned; and to ask that as this man is dependent on this car for his livelihood, if he will issue instructions to have it immediately returned to him?

Enquiries are being made, but they have not yet been completed. On their completion the Deputy will be given the answer.
