asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state what sum of money has been expended on (a) furniture and (b) equipment for the Store Street premises to be occupied by his Department and if he will indicate what articles of furniture were purchased from (1) home manufacturers, and (2) foreign sources, and the amount expended under each head; and further, if he will state what articles of furniture and equipment have been ordered, but not yet supplied, together with the cost of the articles so ordered.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it in the Official Report.
