asked the Minister for Finance whether he can state the total replacement value of State buildings and property in the Saorstát.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - REPLACEMENT VALUE OF STATE PROPERTY.
It is not quite clear exactly what information the Deputy desires, but it is assumed that what is asked for is a statement of the estimated cost of replacing all the buildings in the Saorstát which are owned or leased by the State. Such a statement is not available, and I fear that the time and expense which would be involved in preparing it would be incommensurate with its utility.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary give me approximate figures through the post, not necessarily through the Dáil?
Mr. BOURKE
I will endeavour to meet the Deputy as far as I can.
