Vol. 54 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Irrecoverable Rates.

asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he will state the total amount of rates in each county written off as irrecoverable from the warrant of 1928-29, 1929-30, 1930-31, 1931-32, 1932-33 and 1933-34.

I am circulating a table showing the amount of irrecoverable rates written off in each county in each of the six financial years preceding the 31st March, 1934.
