Vol. 65 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cost of Old Age and Blind Pensions.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state (1) in respect of each county and (2) the whole country the amount of rate on the rateable value equivalent to the cost of old age pensions and blind pensions in each of the years 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935 and 1936, on the basis of the pensions payable on the last Friday of each year.

As the answer is in the form of a tabular statement I propose to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

TABLE SHOWING FOR EACH ADMINISTRATIVE COUNTY AND COUNTY BOROUGH THE AMOUNT OF RATE ON THE RATEABLE VALUE EQUIVALENT TO THE COST OF OLD AGE PENSIONS AND BLIND PENSIONS IN EACH OF THE YEARS 1931 TO 1936, INCLUSIVE, ON THE BASIS OF THE PENSIONS PAYABLE ON THE LAST FRIDAY OF EACH YEAR.
