asked the Minister for Justice the number of aliens registered as permanently resident in this country in February, 1959, February, 1960, February, 1961 and February, 1962.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Registered Aliens.
47.
Records are not kept in respect of any date in the month of February. The date for which figures are available is 31st December and the figures on that date for each of the last four years are:
|
1958 |
3,028 |
|
1959 |
3,073 |
|
1960 |
2,849 |
|
1961 |
3,140 |
I should perhaps mention that these figures relate to persons staying here for more than three months. They are not necessarily permanent residents in the usual sense of that term.
