asked the Minister for Finance if he would state when the compensation claim of Patrick O'Donoghue, Cahir Guillamore, Kilmallock, in respect of which a report in favour of £25 was given on September 25th, 1925, by the Compensation (Ireland) Commission, will be paid.

The award referred to by the Deputy has recently been received from the Compensation (Ireland) Commission and was published in a supplement to Iris Oifigiúil on Friday last. Payment will, it is hoped, be made early next month.
