asked the Taoiseach the number of males (a) over 18 years of age, (b) under 18 years of age in industrial employment in each county on the latest available date.
Written Answers. - Industrial Employment.
I propose, with your permission, Sir, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing estimated numbers of males aged under and over 18 years in industrial employment in 1966 in each county and county borough. The figures shown are based on the 1966 census of population. However, the precise tabulation required was not prepared at the census, so that the allocation of males in industrial employment to age groups was made on the basis of related occupational data.
Following is the statement:
Estimated number of males aged under 18 years and 18 years and over in industrial employment in each Province, County and County Borough in 1966.
