The Gazette 1967/71

formal letter of application to you concerning an advertisement which we would like to place in the solicitors journal seeking bequests. Perhaps it could run in the following manner : Our needs were never greater. Please remem ber the society in your will and enable us to expand our work. Last year we helped 7,355 children, but many others still stand in need of care and protection. but naturally I would be guided by you on this point. The last occasion on which I had the pleasure of meeting you was when I was still in Bord Faille and you were arranging for a supply of Connc- mara Marble Souvenir Table Knives to be given to delegates attending some international law con ference in, I think, 1962. Yours sincerely, BRIAN P. CALLINAN. Chief Executive Officer. Dear Mr. Plunkett, For internal reasons we have found it necessary to renumber all our forms. As we are still in the transition stage there is inevitably some confusion. To minimise this we have taken every opportunity to issue the accompanying descriptive list to soli citors. The storekeeper (who is not attached to this branch) presumably overlooked the change. The matter has been brought to his attention. I enclose copy of a letter which has been sent to Messrs T. Dillon-Leetch and Sons. Yours sincerely, D. KEADY. Assistant Secretary. A Chairde, With reference to your letter o f7th inst. I am directed by the Revenue Commissioners to say that Form Dl is the new number for Form 77 but present prints in stock still bear the number 77. Supplies of this form should be available under either number at your local money order Post office. Meantime some copies are enclosed. A descriptive list of the forms at present in use at this office is also enclosed. 96 19th February 1969. ESTATE DUTY FORMS Revenue Commissioners, 72/76 St. Stephen's Green South, Dublin 2.

I think I should point out, however, that it did not need the introduction of credit transfers under the Bank Giro system to enable a debtor to make a direct payment to a creditor's bank account. Faci lities to make such lodgments have always been available as a banking service—with or without the account-holder's consent. Indeed, third party credits are, and always have been, quite a propor tion of the payments into customers' accounts, and the Bank Giro system merely rationalisese and simplifies the process. I still believe, however, that as so conveyed to you in the final paragraph of mine of the 2nd December, that if your members have particular problems they should seek the advice and co operation of their own and their clients bankers, when I feel sure arrangements can be made to guard against situations such as you have men tioned arising. Yours faithfully, R. F. BRENNAN Secretary. Editor's Note The Giro system, while most convenient in en abling a customer to make remittances to firms by direct transfers through his own bank, requires that the banks of the creditor firms' should be known to the person making the payment. Slips with the names of the creditor firms, the amounts of the payments to be made and the branch banks of the creditor firms are lodged with his own bank by the payer. Many commercial firms will no doubt print on their business stationery the names and branches of their banks. If a solicitor does not wish the Bank Giro procedure to operate as regards payments into his account he can no doubt give the necessary direction to his own bank.
