HC Deb 09 February 1893 vol 8 c887
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been called to a letter which appeared in the Freeman's Journal and National Press, of the 6th inst., from Sir Thomas Brady, Ex-Inspector of Irish Fisheries; and what explanation have the Treasury to offer why this gentleman has not received either pay or pension since 31st December, 1891?

*SIR J. T. HIBBERT

I have not seen the letter referred to. The Treasury is not responsible for the payment of the salaries of Irish Fishery Inspectors, nor can the Treasury award a pension until the application for it has been received. In Sir Thomas Brady's case the application was not received until the 13th January last.

MR. W. REDMOND (Clare, E.)

Is it not the fact that the Treasury are now engaged in considering the case of Sir Thomas Brady?

*SIR J. T. HIBBERT

Yes, Sir.
