22.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state, further to replies to Parliamentary questions of 20th July, 1971, details of employment, bonus earnings and service payments in forests at a recent date, together with the average bonus earnings from June, 1971 to date; and if he will indicate the revised rate and operative date of the incentive bonus scheme.

The reply is in the form of a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, will be circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:
