asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he will state for each of the years 1958, 1959 and 1960 the numbers of the employees of (1) C.I.E. and (2) the G.N.R.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Employees of C.I.E. and G.N.R.
50.
Detailed statistics of the Staff employed by C.I.E. at a date in March are published each year in the September issue of the Irish Trade Journal and Statistical Bulletin, copies of which are available in the Library of the House. Separate figures are given for the G.N.R. for 1958, since which date they are included in the C.I.E. figures.
If they are so published would it trespass too far on the Minister's industry to ask him to prepare them in the form of a schedule and publish them with the Official Report?
If it is possible in the time, I shall prepare them.
I am very much obliged. It seems to me that it would be very much easier for the Minister with a large Department to do that rather than that Deputies should be asked to search for them in the Library.
