asked the Minister for Defence whether any steps have been taken in pursuance of his undertaking, in reply to a question in the Dáil on January 3rd, that he would expedite as much as possible enquiries into the claim by Mr. Devitt, Racecourse, Cashel, for compensation for a motor car commandeered on August 3rd, 1922, and whether the Minister can give any assurance that the claim will be settled without further delay.

Mr. Devitt's car is being returned to him, and a payment has been made to him in settlement of his claim.
