asked the Minister for Finance if he will state in respect of each of the last ten years the number of resignations other than resignations on marriage in each of the General Service Grades of the Civil Service.

The particulars required by the Deputy, so far as they are available from the Civil Service Census, are contained in a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, will be included in the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

1951 to 1955
