Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - State Advertising: Circulation of Newspapers.

7.

andMr. Barry asked the Minister for Finance the circulation of each newspaper published in the State that carried State advertising in 1960, and the amount paid to each paper for such advertising in 1960.

The reply is in the form of a tabular statement which I propose with your permission, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, to have circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

Circulation figures are obtained from time to time from newspapers. Publication of these figures in the Official Report is not considered advisable, as it is not possible to verify them, and such publication might lead, as it has done in the past, to disputes as to their accuracy, especially for comparable periods.
