CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - UNEMPLOYMENT IN MEATH.
There are at present no funds at the disposal of my Department out of which grants could be made for the relief of unemployment in the areas referred to. The amount provided in the present year's estimates is earmarked for the completion of relief works which were started in the last financial year, and uncompleted on the 31st of March, 1926. It is not contemplated that there should be a continuance of relief works during the summer months.
