asked the Minister for Defence if he will give a list of the names and addresses, by brigades, of the persons at present in receipt of special allowances for service in the Old I.R.A. in County Limerick, and the amount of the allowance in each case.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, a Cheann Comhairle, with your permission, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

It would not be practicable to compile the list on the basis of the brigades in which the applicants claimed to have served. As it would be contrary to established departmental practice to supply the addresses of the persons concerned, I regret that such information cannot be supplied.

Following is the statement:—

ARMY PENSIONS ACTS.

List of persons resident in Co. Limerick who are in receipt of Special Allowances.
