28.

andMrs. Hogan O'Higgins asked the Minister for Finance if he will state how much of the £250,000 allocated last year to aid projects in western counties has been spent up to 31st March, 1968; and if he will name the projects on which money has been spent, indicating the locations of such projects and the amount spent on each project.
