HC Deb 09 June 1913 vol 53 c1262
80. Mr. O'DOWD

asked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that Dan Murphy, of Roughean, Riverstown, Bally-mote, county Sligo, was some time ago awarded an old age pension of 5s. weekly by the Riverstown sub-committee, and that on appeal such award was cancelled by the Local Government Board; and whether he can state the reasons which caused the Local Government Board to deprive this man of his pension?

Mr. BIRRELL

Daniel Murphy has already been allowed a pension of 5s. a week by the Local Government Board.
