Vol. 49 No. 17

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Weekly Cost of Home Assistance.

asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he will state the average weekly cost of home assistance paid to able-bodied persons for the month of June, 1933, or for the last month for which the information is available in each county health or public assistance district.

I am arranging to have this information printed in the Reports of the House.

Following are the figures:—
