asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the total amount of grants from the Special Employment Schemes Vote allocated to County Donegal in the financial year 1953-1954.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Donegal Employment Scheme.
As the reply 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.
Following is the statement:

Arising out of the reply I should like to say that what I wanted information on was the total amount of grants from the Emergency Schemes Vote and not from the Special Employment Schemes Vote.
But that is not the question the Deputy asked.
It is the question I submitted.
Try it again.
If there is plenty red tape, there is also plenty paper.
