The Shaw Commission was set up to look at compensation for people who lost materially during "the recent troubles". Joe Stanley found out soon enough that he missed the dates and did not qualify for all his Gaelic Press losses. On a separate affair he was involved in a car crash with an Army vehicle and he pushed for compensation for his sister who was injured and they may have tried to make one compensation equal to and part of the other and Joe of course objected with fine detail.
