asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that the increase of one shilling per week in her old age pension has not been given to Kate Duggan, of Rossport, Ballina, Co. Mayo, and if he will take the necessary steps to have it restored.

Local inquiries have to be made in this case. If the Deputy will be good enough to put down the question again in about ten days' time I hope to be then in a position to reply.
