Vol. 160 No. 16

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Winter Relief Schemes.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the amount allocated to each local authority for winter relief schemes in the current financial year and in the financial year 1955-56, showing in each case the amount carried forward on 1st April, 1956.

The information is in the form of two tabular statements which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report.

The following are the statements:—
