asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the cause of the delay in payment of the recommendation to the amount of £1,050, with interest, of the Shaw Commission assessors, Messrs. Barron and McAuley, to the Drombanna Co-operative Creamery for the burning of their Auxiliary Creamery at Killonan on 14th April, 1920; whether he is aware this amount was agreed to by the Society?

The award to which the Deputy refers had not yet been notified to the Compensation Section of the Ministry, and the question of payment does not therefore arise.
