60.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state in respect of each Dáil Constituency for the years 1961-62 and 1962-63 (a) the number of registered electors and (b) the decrease or increase in each case.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—

NUMBER of registered electors in each Dáil constituency for the years 1961-62 and 1962-63 and the decrease or increase in each case.
