asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he is making arrangements to provide for the payment of the present city rates of unemployment assistance and widows' and orphans' pensions to applicants who are residing within the new area of the Cork Borough Constituency.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Payment of Unemployment Assistance and Pensions (Cork).
