asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state the number of agricultural lorries registered in Dublin County and the total estimated yield from the extra tax which will be payable on such lorries next year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Dublin Agricultural Lorries.
The number of "agricultural lorries" registered in Dublin City and County in August, 1952, was 289. Separate figures are not collected for the county. It is not possible to give a reliable estimate of the yield from the proposed increase in taxation on these vehicles, as the new rate of duty will depend in each case on the unladen weight of the vehicle.
