Vol. 236 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Public Capital Programme.

46.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will give a percentage breakdown of the items comprising the public capital programme from the year 1956-57 to date.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it in the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
