NOTE: The figures of expenditure shown for Rural Improvement Schemes include the amounts paid out of local contributions received: for the years 1947/48 to 1952/53 they have been estimated on a percentage basis as in these years only the State grant expenditure was charged to the Vote Sub-head.
The figures of expenditure shown for Minor Employment and Bog Development Schemes are State grant figures only: normally no local contributions are payable for these schemes.
