§ Mr. BOLANDasked the Secretary to the Treasury how the Local Government Board based their calculations when deciding that the means of Michael and Johanna Daly, of Kimego, near Caher-civeen, exceeded the statutory amount in view of the fact that the pension officer granted an old age pension of 3s. to each, which the pension committee, who knew the circumstances of the claimants better, raised to 4s.; and will the Local Government Board reconsider their decision or decide to reopen the case?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Local Government Board's estimate of means was based on the stock and crops on the farm on which Michael Daly and his wife resided. As the claim's have been disallowed the Board have no power to reopen consideration of the case.
