Written Answers. - County Cavan Forestry Wages.

asked the Minister for Lands if any decision has yet been arrived at on the question of increasing the wages of the Cootehill forestry workers, whose claim for an increase was recently under consideration; and if, in view of the difficulties of these men in keeping their dependents, he will come to an early and favourable decision.

Mr. Boland

The minimum rate of wages of forestry labourers generally, including those employed at Cootehill, is being raised from 24/- a week to 29/- a week with effect as from Monday the 23rd instant.
