Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Council Carters.
One local authority recently inquired whether I would be prepared to approve of an increase in the allowance to carters in respect of the provision of a horse and cart from 7/8 a day to 15/- a day. The local authority were informed that I would be prepared to sanction a revised allowance which would amount to 10/- a day.
