asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware that Thomas Dahill and William Dunford, of Kilnafrehan, Dungarvan; Richard Lynch and Thomas Burke, of Inchindrisla, Dungarvan; James Dunford, Knockanee, Dungarvan, and John Quinn, Ballymacmague. Dungarvan, were killed, and that Thomas Fitzgerald, Inchindrisla, Dungarvan, was wounded at Kilgobinet on the 8th July, 1921; whether claims for compensation have been received from the parents of these men, and, if so, whether he can say how soon a grant is likely to be made in these cases.

Claims in all these cases have been received, and will be considered at an early date by the Compensation (Personal Injuries) Committee, with the exception of the claims in respect of the deaths of Thomas Burke and John Quinn, which will be dealt with by the Army Pensions Board.
