asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the amount paid in each county in each of the years 1935 and 1936 for (1) old age pensions, (2) blind pensions, (3) the total of such payments, and (4) the gross totals of such payments, on the basis of the pensions payable on the last Friday of each year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Old Age and Blind Pensions.
As the answer is in the form of a tabular statement I propose to circulate it with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
OLD AGE PENSIONS AND BLIND PENSIONS.
TABLE SHOWING FOR EACH ADMINISTRATIVE COUNTY AND COUNTY BOROUGH THE AMOUNTS PAID FOR (1) OLD AGE PENSIONS AND (2) BLIND PENSIONS IN EACH OF THE YEARS 1935 AND 1936 ON THE BASIS OF THE PENSIONS PAYABLE ON THE LAST FRIDAY OF EACH YEAR.
