The bodies which come under the aegis of my Department receive support in the form of grant from my Department and apart from short-term bank loans (overdrafts) the question of borrowing does not arise. The only exception is the Board for the Employment of the Blind, responsibility for which was transferred to my Department in accordance with Statutory Instrument No. 83/72. Particulars of the amount borrowed by the board were given by the Minister for Social Welfare to the Deputy in reply to a previous similar question on 20th May, 1969. The amount of loan outstanding on the latest date up to which information is available, viz. 31st December, 1971, was £47,000.
