Arising out of what the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs has said, while we all agree with what he has said with regard to the postmasters and their courage and the people who did stand up to these raids, I wonder would he consider recognising the courage of some of those in some way? I have a case in point.

We are entering into another area now.

A postman in Limerick had to have six stitches after a couple of clouts of a gun because of his attempt to stop a post office raid. There should be some recognition in these cases.

Recognition has been extended in a certain number of cases. If the Deputy will give me particulars of the case with which he is concerned I will have it investigated.

What form did the recognition take? Was it monetary?

In some cases, yes; in exceptional cases.

Question No. 4 please.

Was it monetary recognition the Deputy had in mind?

No, something like what the Minister is giving.
