Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Mayo Forestry.

28.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the number of people employed in forestry work in County Mayo at the end of May last, the location of each forestry area in the county, and the number employed in each of these areas.

The total number of men employed by the Forestry Division of my Department at the ten forest centres in County Mayo in week ending 22nd May, 1964, the most recent week for which figures are available, was 213. The number of men employed at each forest centre in the county is set out in a tabular statement which I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
