asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he will state the reasons for refusing to authorise a blind pension to Mrs. Anne Dooley, Aghill, Monasterevan, Co. Kildare, and whether he will have further inquiries made in the case with a view to the granting of a pension to this woman.

So far as can be ascertained from the particulars furnished no appeal has been received in this case, and I have therefore no functions in connection with it.
