Incident in 1923 Carlow.

Dail Eireann Debate, 11th Dec. 1923. Vol. 5 # 21.

EAMON O DUBHGHAILL:  asked the Minister for Defence, General Mulcahy, whether he has received a report from the Carlow Military Authorities concerning the case of John Donnelly, of Castle Hill, Carlow, who was brought out at night and threatened to be shot by National Troops and Officers of the Irish Free State army in uniform for a remark alleged to have been made by him to another, and which both denied; whether, seeing that this incident has ruined the chance of this man earning a livelihood in Carlow, in which he has been resident for over 16 years, that he has now been idle for over 15 months, the case will be re-considered with a view to granting adequate compensation for his losses.

General MULCAHY replied :  I have received a report of the incident referred to. John Donnelly was taken out at night-time and cautioned in connection with statements alleged to have been made by him regarding the death of General Michael Collins. I am not aware that the incident has ruined his chance of earning a livelihood in Carlow. He left his employment of his own free will. The case is not one in which compensation can be awarded.

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. - CO. CARLOW UNEMPLOYMENT.
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA: To ask the Minister for Local Government whether an application has been made by the Carlow County Council for a special grant to relieve the great unemployment which exists in the county; whether similar applications have been made by other County Councils, and if so, with what results.
MlNISTER for LOCAL GOVERNMENT (Mr. E. Blythe) MlNISTER for LOCAL GOVERNMENT (Mr. E. Blythe)
327
[327] MlNISTER for LOCAL GOVERNMENT (Mr. E. Blythe): Representations have been made by the Carlow County Council that a special Government Grant should be made available, and similar applications have been made by other County Councils. Excepting the Grant of £275,000 assigned in March, last the Government has not been in a position to make any other distribution of special Grants for unemployment.
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA: May I take it then there is no sum allocated for this purpose?
Mr. BLYTHE Mr. BLYTHE
Mr. BLYTHE: Not beyond what has been already granted.
The PRESIDENT The PRESIDENT
The PRESIDENT: If I might intervene for a moment, in order to explain, a sum of £100,000 was voted by the Dáil to relieve distress mainly on the Western and Southern seaboards. It is possible that the Deputy may have concluded that Carlow should have got some of that, but that particular sum was earmarked for places where distress was likely to occasion famine. It was not for the relief of distress generally

Dáil Éireann - Volume 1 - 18 September, 1922
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. - CARLOW POST OFFICE SUSPENSION.
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA: To ask the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the suspension of Padraig O Catháin, of Carlow Town Post Office; if so, whether he will state what was his offence and by whom was the suspension carried out, and whether it is a fact that the officer responsible acts in turn as a postal official and as a military officer; and whether the fact that the suspended employee acted as Director of Elections on behalf of the Labour Candidate for the constituency of Carlow and Kilkenny was in any way responsible for his suspension; also, whether many similar suspensions have taken place, and, if so, how many, and on what charges, and whether they will be given an opportunity to answer the charges if any, which have led to their suspension.
POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. J.J. Walsh) POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. J.J. Walsh)
POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. J.J. Walsh): This officer was suspended from duty for misappropriation of official cash, by an officer of the Post Office Investigation Department, acting under my I authority. The Post Office solicitor is at present considering evidence in the case with a view to a prosecution in the courts. I was not aware until the Deputy mentioned it that this officer had taken any part in politics at the recent election.
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA
329
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA: May I ask as a supplementary question whether the gentleman who suspended Mr. O'Kane has, in the first instance, asked him to put down in writing whether he had any association with the Irregulars, and Mr. O'Kane having given an answer and that not having been deemed satisfactory by the gentleman who carried out his suspension whether he put a further question, whether he had any connection with the Irregulars or not, and Mr. O'Kane having replied “No,” not having got him on that point, he then paid attention to some work which Mr. O'Kane was performing at the time, making up accounts, and when a few shillings was found short, not having deemed that sufficient to make a case out of, he then enquired into another case of its kind which had occurred previously. If I be in order I wish to say that I should like to put down a special question in connection with that, since I have a written signed statement by Mr. O'Kane to that effect. I think the question might be dealt with more satisfactorily by a statement than by merely asking a question.
Mr. WALSH Mr. WALSH
Mr. WALSH: I agree that a general statement of that kind is not advisable. I think it would be better if the facts were put down.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 1 - 01 December, 1922
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. - CARLOW POST OFFICE DISMISSAL.
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA
PADRAIG MAC GAMHNA: To ask the Postmaster-General whether P. O'Kane, of Carlow Post Office, has addressed a letter to him, concerning his recent dismissal, with a view to having an enquiry made into the charges preferred against him; whether he has signified his intention to meet such inquiry at any time or in any place, and when does he propose investigating this case, so that Mr. O'Kane will get the opportunity he asks for to vindicate himself.
Mr. WALSH Mr. WALSH
Mr. WALSH: No letter has been received from Mr. O'Kane since his dismissal. I have withdrawn the second portion of the question with the approval of the Deputy.
Mr. GAFFNEY Mr. GAFFNEY
2547
[2547] Mr. GAFFNEY: In connection with this question, the answer to the latter part is only withdrawn until such time as the letter is received from Mr. O'Kane, in which he asks for an investigation into his case. I would like that understood.
Mr. WALSH Mr. WALSH
Mr. WALSH: All right.

The further particulars to enable the purchase to be proceeded with have not yet been lodged.

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - DISCHARGED SOLDIER'S UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT (STRABOE, CARLOW).
EAMON O DUBHGHAILL EAMON O DUBHGHAILL
EAMON O DUBHGHAILL asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware that Private Michael Carroll, Straboe, Palatine, Co. Carlow, late Mechanical Transport, No. 12181, was discharged from the Army on January 2nd last, and has since been signing at the Labour Exchange, Tullow; whether seeing that he has not received unemployment benefit, steps will be taken to inquire into the matter with a view to expediting payment.
Mr. McGRATH Mr. McGRATH
Mr. McGRATH: When Michael Carroll, Straboe, Palatine, Co. Carlow, claimed Unemployment Benefit at Tullow, it was found that he had no account with the Unemployment Fund in Ireland. Having previous to his Army Service worked in Glasgow, the Unemployment Book which he held belonged to Great Britain, and his account with the Unemployment Fund was in London. Immediate steps were taken to transfer the account to Dublin. Some delay necessarily occurred in the transfer; but as soon as it was received in Ireland payment of benefit to the maximum amount was authorised, and the applicant will get his first payment, including any arrears due to him, to-day.

MINISTER for FINANCE Ernest Blythe
MINISTER for FINANCE: Enquiry has been made at the Office of the Compensation (Ireland) Commission, and it has been ascertained that a claim in respect of the damage to property referred to has been lodged on behalf of the person named by the Deputy. The claim will, it is believed, be the subject of investigation by a War Compensation Court or similar body at a later date. The application of Miss Parr on behalf of her brother, James Parr, for compensation in respect of injury to his health, has been fully and carefuly investigated by the Compensation (Personal Injuries) Committee, who have recommended that no compensation should be paid. I have no confirmation of the Deputy's statement that James Parr has since died.
