Vol. 240 No. 7

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

15.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state in respect of each local authority on the basis of estimates for the coming financial year the amount by which the rate in the pound would be reduced if the amounts charged on rates for health services were the same as those charged in the years 1965-66.

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

Increase in Health Rate for 1969-70 over Health Rate for 1965-66
