asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state in connection with the contributory old age pension case No. 1284 (Insurance No. 365253) the record of insurance contributions for each year since the applicant's entry into insurance.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

The statement is as follows:—

Claim to Old Age (Contributory) Pension No. 1284.

Contribution record of claimant under the National Health Insurance Acts and the Social Welfare Acts.

Date of entry into insurance 15th July, 1912. Not less than 104 contributions paid up to 3rd July, 1932, but detailed records not available for contribution years prior to that date.
