asked the Minister for Justice whether he is aware of the serious delays which occur in dealing with cases under the control of the Lunacy Department of the Chancery Court and with particular reference to the case of the estate of the late John J. Halvey, Kilkerrin, Ballinasloe, which came under the control of that Department on the 18th June, 1925; if he is aware that the creditors of the estate have been subjected to heavy legal expenses in endeavouring to obtain payment of their claims, and whether steps can be taken to induce the Lunacy Department to expedite the winding-up of this estate.

My inquiries in this matter have not yet been completed, and I would ask the Deputy to repeat his question next week.
