asked the Minister for Home Affairs when it is proposed to pay expenses to Mr. W.S. Corry, Ulster Bank, Tullamore, who was summoned as a State witness in the case of The State v. John O'Dowd, at the District Court, Buttevant, in August or September, 1923, and at Mallow Quarter Sessions in October, 1923, the local State Solicitor not having paid Mr. Corry's expenses?

Enquiries have been made as to the delay in dealing with this witness's claim, and a reply will be made as soon as the information is received.
