asked the Minister for Defence if he is aware that two acres of land taken over by the British Authorities at Camp Farm, Gormanstown, from Mr. N. McCullen at a rental of £20 per acre per annum, and were subsequently taken over by the Irish Free State in September, 1922, and that since then Mr. McCullen has not received any payment therefor, and now claims the amount due, viz., £60, together with £5 expenses, and whether this claim will now be settled.

I understand that the Commissioners of Public Works are arranging for an early settlement of Mr. McCullen's claim.
