Vol. 127 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Farm Building Scheme Grants.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state (1) the number of applicants for grants under the farm building scheme in each of the years 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951, (2) the number of grants approved by his Department in each year, and (3) the amount paid to applicants in each of the years mentioned.

I propose, with your permission, a Chinn Chomhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the desired information. Following is the statement:—
