§ Mr. BYRNEasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will consider the advisability of recommending the attendants in Dundrum Central Asylum for a substantial war bonus; and if he is aware that almost all the attendants are married men with families existing on from £30 to £40 a year?
§ Mr. DUKEThe attendants in Dundrum Asylum have already received the war bonus granted on the 9th September, 1916, and will receive the additional war bonus for all classes of Civil servants. Exclusive of such bonuses, their wages range from £30 to £58 a year, with free rations, quarters, and uniform; and, in addition, a number of them receive other allowances.
