§ Mr. O'SHEEasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what were the names of the parents of Johanna Kiely, who was granted an old age pension by the Dungarvan rural sub-committee on 4th May last, and whose pension was disallowed by the local Government Board on appeal on the ground of age; in what townland did they reside in 1851 when the Census Returns were being taken; whether he is aware that there was another Johanna Keily born in the same electoral division of Conmaraglin, who died about four years ago, and whose age would correspond with the age of the Johanna Kiely whose name was found by the pension officer in the Census Returns of 1851; and whether the application of the living Johanna Kiely will be reconsidered with a view to her identification?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe names of the parents of the Johanna Kiely whose pension was disallowed by the Local Government Board on appeal were William Flynn and Norah Corcoran, who resided in the townland of Bohadoon, parish of Kilgobinet, Barony of Decies-Without-Drum. The existence of the other Johanna Kiely mentioned in the question was not known to either the pension officer or the Board, but the latter observed that the claimant whose case they have dealt with stated in her claim to a pension that her maiden name was Flynn, and that she was born at Bohadoon. If, however, any mistake has been made with regard to the identity of Mrs. Kiely it will be open to her to make a fresh claim.
