asked the Minister for Finance if he can state when the claim of the Cork School of Music, in respect of compensation for occupation of premises by the Gárda Síochána and Military Forces in 1922, will be paid, as repeated applications to the Board of Works for information on the subject have, so far, proved futile.

A draft in settlement of the claim of the Cork County Borough Technical Instruction Committee in respect of the occupation of the Cork Municipal School of Music by the Civie Patrol and Civie Guard was issued on the 10th instant.
