asked the Minister for Agriculture whether, in view of the unemployment created in the City and County of Dublin as a result of the foot and mouth disease, he will introduce proposals for legislation to compensate the workers for their loss of employment.
Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - Foot and Mouth Disease—Unemployment.
