asked the Minister for Defence if his Department has received an account from Mr. Peter Kelly, Merchant, Main Street, Longford, for articles supplied to the Military Barracks, Longford, the amount of which has been certified as correct by the Officers responsible in said Barracks, and, further, whether he will see that payment of this account is expedited, in view of the fact that it is a long time outstanding.

Mr. Kelly's account has been received and is presently under investigation with a view to settlement, if in order, at an early date.
