asked the Minister for Lands the rates of wages and conditions of employment of the waterkeepers employed by each board of conservators in the country.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Wages and Conditions of Waterkeepers.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I am supplying a tabular statement showing rates of wages paid by the various Boards of Fishery Conservators in the fishery year ended 30th September, 1961.
I am not in a position to furnish details of the other conditions of employment of waterkeepers. These conditions are normally settled between the employees concerned and the Boards of Conservators by which they are employed.
Following is the statement:—

* Including some annual rates calculated on a weekly basis for comparison.
Is it not a fact that the conditions of employment must be sanctioned by the Parliamentary Secretary's Department before they can come into operation? Such information as regards hours of work, holidays and all that sort of thing should be available in the Parliamentary Secretary's Department.
I have supplied the tabular list showing the rates of wages applicable.
Can we not get the hours of work?
That would require a lot of detailed examination.
