Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Moy Drainage Scheme: Recruitment of Workers.
72.
The method of recruitment of labour for the Moy Drainage Scheme is the same as that generally followed in such schemes by the Office of Public Works, that is, men are recruited through the local Employment Exchange except certain skilled men—usually key men—who are transferred from other works carried out by that Office. I am not aware of any grave dissatisfaction concerning it.
