Mr. Blythe: Only one application for repayment in respect of a sum of £1, stated to have been subscribed by him to the Dáil Eireann Internal Loan, 1919-20, can be traced as having been received from Mr. Michael Bolger, of Ballywilliam, New Ross. As this application was not received until after the expiration [642] of the time limit for making applications fixed by me in accordance with Section 4 (1) of the Dáil Eireann Loans and Funds Act, 1924, I regret that I am unable to authorise repayment to Mr. Bolger.

Mr. Blythe: There is an important discrepancy in the evidence furnished by Mr. Walsh in support of his application for repayment in respect of a sum of £20 stated to have been subscribed by him to the Dáil Eireann (Internal) Loan, 1919-20.

On the 28th March, 1928, a communication was addressed to Mr. Walsh asking him to furnish an explanation of the discrepancy referred to. No reply has since been received from Mr. Walsh, and until a reply is received a decision regarding repayment cannot be come to.
