PENSION PLAN IN IRELAND
GRAFT ALLEGED AGAINST GOVERNOR-GENERAL DUBLIN, June 4. After Cosgrave supporters had denounced it as graft and one of the most disgraceful episodes in Parliamentary life, the Dail Eireann accepted a proposal to grant a pension of £SOO a year and a gratuity of £2OOO to Mr Donald Buckley, formerly grocer and innkeeper, whose office of Governor-General was abolished last year. Mr Patrick Ruttledge (Minister for Justice) said that Mr Buckley's services in 1916, when he was deported for participation in the rebellion, were partially the reason for the proposal.
