Dáil Éireann - Volume 32 - 27 November, 1929 Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dáil Loan, 1919-20. Gearóid O Beoláin Gearóid O Beoláin Gearóid O Beoláin asked the Minister for Finance if the collectors for the Dáil Eireann Loan, 1919-20, in the townlands of Cortonmore. 1437 [1437] Aughrim and Aughalustia, Loughglynn, Co. Roscommon, have yet furnished his Department with a full list of subscribers in these townlands and whether his Department is in communication with Rev. Fr. Roddy, C.C., to whom the money for this area was handed, and if the Minister can state when he proposes to repay people in these areas. Mr. Blythe Mr. Blythe Mr. Blythe: Lists, purporting to contain particulars of subscriptions to the Dáil Eireann Loan by persons resident in the townlands of Cortonmore, Augherine (not Aughrim, as stated in the question) and Aughalustia, were received in my Department on the 8th and 9th May, 1928. In a letter which accompanied the list for Augherine, the Rev. Father Roddy, C.C., stated that a receipt which he issued in respect of the total amount received by him from that townland was still in the possession of the local collectors. Requests for the receipt were made by my Department to the collectors concerned on the 8th May, 1928, and the 21st October, 1929, but no reply has been received. Similar requests were made in respect of the sums collected in the townlands of Cortonmore and Aughalustia, but no reply was received to these either. As the sums received in the Dáil Department of Finance for the Parliamentary Constituency of North Roscommon were not accompanied by any particulars of the amounts subscribed in the three townlands referred to and as it has not yet been possible to identify those amounts, I am not at present in a position to authorise repayment to the individual subscribers concerned. Further inquiries are, however, being made. Mr. Kennedy Mr. Kennedy Mr. Kennedy: Will the Minister say that subscribers who did not make formal application themselves but about whom Deputies made representations to his Department during the past couple of years, will be paid; will the Minister see that they are paid? Mr. Blythe Mr. Blythe Mr. Blythe: No. Mr. Kennedy Mr. Kennedy 1438 [1438] Mr. Kennedy: Might I indicate to the Minister that I was in his Department about—— An Ceann Comhairle Michael Hayes An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy is about to make a speech on a different subject to that in the question. Mr. Kennedy Mr. Kennedy Mr. Kennedy: I was about to say that the subscribers—— An Ceann Comhairle Michael Hayes An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy must not make a speech on the matter. This is a very limited question. Dáil Éireann 32 Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. Dáil Loan, 1919-20. Questions 19291127
