asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state the total population and the total number of electors in each constituency in Ireland (a) in 1961, (b) in 1965 and (c) at latest available date.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Total Population and Electorate.
86.
I would refer the Deputy to Table 14, Volume I of the Census of Population of Ireland, 1966, for population statistics of constituencies in 1961 and 1966. Corresponding figures for 1965 are not available. I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have a tabular statement giving the required statistics for electors circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
NUMBER of Dáil electors in each constituency on the Register of Electors which came into force on 15th April in 1961, 1965 and 1967, as returned by registration authorities.
