54.
The number of men employed on road works in Tipperary North Riding at 30th September, 1962, the latest date for which a figure is available, was 354. The volume of road works to be undertaken in 1963-64 will depend mainly on the amount of the council's rates provision for roads and the level of the Road Fund allocations. I am not in a position to make any statement about the 1963-64 grants at this stage.
