Vol. 160 No. 16

Written Answers. - Agricultural Workers: Employment Grants.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state in respect of each year from 1953 to date the number of agricultural workers in each county in respect of whom employment grants were allowed, and the total primary and agricultural employment grant in respect of each county.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

The following is the statement:—
