N. B.—The figures in Column 2 do not include incomplete application forms returned to the applicants for further particulars, and not re-submitted.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary oblige me with the Donegal figures which I asked for specially?
No inspections have been carried out in Donegal and we have received from that county only 36 applications.
