Irish Spruce crew in Marseille

Summary

O’Keeffe asked the Minister to help the crew stranded in Marseille. Mitchell said they were employed by the liquidator and could return home at the liquidator’s expense.

Ned O'Keeffe Mr. E. O'Keeffe Fianna Fáil

Will the Minister state what are the plans for the crew of the Irish Spruce who are at present in Marseilles abandoned by the Government and by the Department? We are in the season of goodwill and I ask the Minister to do something to alleviate the serious problems and the loneliness the crew have to endure.

The crew are employed by the liquidator and any of the crew who wish to come home can do and their expenses would be paid by the liquidator.
