asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether statistics are available showing the number of children under 16 years in families the heads of which enjoy an annual income of £250 or less, and, if so, what is the number of such children in Éire.
Written Answers. - Statistics as to Children in Éire.
Statistics are not available of children classified according to income of heads of families. In Tables 4 A and 4 B of Volume IX of the Census of Population, 1926, statistics are given of dependent children under 16 years of age of married men, widowers and widows, classified by occupations.
