Vol. 175 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Expenditure on Employment and Emergency Schemes.

8.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state in respect of employment and emergency schemes the amount expended in each county in 1956, 1957 and 1958.

As the information is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with the permission of An Ceann Comhairle, to circulate it in the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
