asked the Minister for Finance if he can state whether an account in respect of the storage of tools from May 10th to October 18th, 1926, had been received by the Board of Works from Mr. William Millar, Corofin, County Clare, and if or when payment will be made.

The Commissioners of Public Works have no record of the receipt of a claim for storage of tools from William Millar, Corofin. Inquiry will be made from the district engineer in charge of the restoration of the Fergus drainage district as to the matter, and if any money is found to be due to Mr. Millar it will be paid without delay.
