17.

Mr. Clinton

asked the Minister for Local Government the rate in the pound struck by each local authority and the amount of money collected by way of rates in 1963-64 and 1964-65; and the rate in the pound and estimated amount of rates for 1965-66.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Local Government (Mr. P. Brennan)

Particulars of the rate in the £ for each local authority for 1963-64 were given in reply to Question No. 88 by Deputy Sweetman on 3rd March, 1964. As the remainder of 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 information:
