asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state in respect of the latest date available the average weekly earnings of male agricultural labourers in each county, and if he will also state their average earnings for the corresponding date in the years 1933 and 1934.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Agricultural Labourers' Earnings.
I am circulating with the Official Report a statement giving the required information.
Following is the statement:—
Average Weekly Earnings of Male Agricultural Labourers over 21 years of age permanently employed who had not free house or allowance of any kind, during the weeks ended 13th July, 1935, 14th July, 1934, and 15th July, 1933.
