PENSION AND GRATUITY
APPROVED BY DAIL
FORMER GOVERNOR-GENERAL
(Received June 5, 12.30 p.m.)
DUBLIN, June 4.
After members of the Cosgrave Party had denounced it as a graft and one of the most disgraceful episodes in Parliamentary life, the Dail accepted a proposal to grant a pension of £500 a year and a gratuity of £2000 to Donald Buckley, a former grocer and inn-keeper, whose office as GovernorGeneral was abolished last year. Mr. Patrick-Ruttledge, Minister of Justice, said that Buckley's services in. 1916, when he was deported for participation in the rebellion, were partially the reason for the proposal.
