Statistics showing the number of old age pensioners in receipt of public assistance are not compiled regularly. Special returns obtained from the public assistance authorities in November last showed that some old age pensioners were receiving home assistance in each county. The numbers are set out in a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
