Major NEWMANasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether all claims of loss or damage arising from the Dublin rebellion have been finally disposed of?
§ Mr. SAMUELSThe great majority of these claims, which dealt with cases of death or injury to person or chattels, have been disposed of, together with a vary large number of the building claims, but a certain number of these have not yet been paid though the awards have been made, owing to delay in the commencement of the building operations. A few claims in respect of lost title deeds and uninsured rents are still outstanding, but it is hoped that these shortly will be discharged.
