asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state the number of workers employed by Donegal County Council on turf production in each of the years 1943 to 1947 inclusive, and the amounts paid in wages to these workers in respect of each of those years.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Donegal County Council Turf Workers.
As the reply to the Deputy's question is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
