Vol. 147 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Share Fishermen's Insurance.

asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state the total number of share fishermen paying insurance at the rate of 2/- per week under Article 7 of the Social Welfare (Modification of Insurance) Regulations, 1953.

It is estimated that the number of share fishermen in respect of whom insurance contributions at the special rate of 2/- per week were paid during 1953 is approximately 600.

Is the Minister aware that these 600 people are paying 2/-per week for nothing, for no benefit?

The only question the Deputy asked was the number.

In any case, what the Deputy says is not correct.

Very good. We will have another day at it.
