§ Mr. DUFFYasked the Secretary to the Treasury the cause of the delay in having fees paid to clerks of pension committees in the county of Galway; and if he is aware that no payments have been made for the quarter ended 31st March last?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI understand that the claim for the fees in question was not received by the Board of Customs and Excise until the end of May. The account was not complete when rendered and it was necessary to clear up certain discrepancies. No time will be lost in paying the fees due as soon as certain necessary inquiries are complete.
