asked the Minister for Finance on what grounds the claim to an old age pension by Mrs. Margaret Farrell, of Lehery, Lanesboro', was rejected, and if he is aware that two reputable witnesses, aged respectively 73 and 77 years, testified on oath before a Peace Commissioner that the applicant was 70 years of age, and if the Minister can see his way to re-open the consideration of this case.

Local inquiries have to be made in this case, and, perhaps, the Deputy will repeat his question in ten days' time.
