Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kildare Employment Exchange.
On the 20th March, 1943, there were (a) 63 single men, and (b) 80 married men registered at the branch employment office of this Department at Kildare.
In view of the fact that these persons have been deprived of unemployment assistance benefit, will the Parliamentary Secretary say how they are expected to maintain themselves during the currency of the Order, which prevents their receiving such benefit?

The Deputy might put down a question.
