asked the Taoiseach if he will state in respect of each of the 27 county councils the number of agricultural holdings within the jurisdiction of each council (a) with a land valuation of £75 and over and (b) with a land valuation under £75.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Agricultural Holdings.
7.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the available information on the numbers of agricultural holdings classified by rateable valuation. The information is that collected in the June, 1960 agricultural enumeration. The classification is based on total rateable valuation, land and buildings, and the valuation groupings adopted in the classification do not permit the precise breakdown requested by the Deputy. The figures relate to all agricultural holdings exceeding one statute acre in total area, as returned in June, 1960.
Following is the statement:—
NUMBER of Holdings over one acre in total area in each County classified by Total Rateable Valuation in June, 1960.
