Vol. 189 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Estimated Revenue Receipts.

21.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will give particulars of estimated revenue receipts for 1961-62 in the form of a reply of 13th April, 1961.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

The revenue receipt for 1961-62 is estimated at £143.568 million. The apportionment of each £ of estimated revenue over the headings specified is approximately as follows:—
