§ MR. CHARLES DEVLIN (Galway)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will explain why a superannuation allowance has been refused to John Keane, who has' been for the last seventeen years in charge of the Barna Male School in the borough of Galway.
(Answered by Mr. Arthur Elliot.) The Commissioners of National Education notified to the Teachers' Pension Office on the 30th October, 1901, that Mr. John Keane had resigned his position as teacher in Barna-National School. This was confirmed by Mr. Keane, who applied for and received on the 12th December, 1901, the repayment of his pension premiums under Pension Rule 11 (2). Two months later he wrote claiming a disablement pension, and in reply was informed that as he had been repaid his premiums he had no further claim upon the pension fund.
