asked the Minister for Local Government the total amount allocated to each county for each financial year from 1949 to 1968 inclusive under (a) the Local Authorities (Works) Act, 1949, (b) minor employment schemes, (c) bog development schemes and (d) rural improvement schemes.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Allocations to Local Authorities.
40.
I would refer the Deputy to my reply to his previous question of the 23rd November, 1967, in relation to the Local Authorities (Works) Act, 1949. The reply to the other parts of the question is in the form of a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
