Vol. 234 No. 13

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Local Authority Rates.

11.

asked the Minister for Local Government the rate struck by each local authority for the current year; the increase over last year's rate; and the percentage of this new rate which is made up of (a) health charges and (b) road maintenance and construction.

As 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 statement:—

Local Authority

Rate in the £ 1968-69
