With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 9 and 10 together and to circulate with the Official Report the information requested, which is set out in the form of a tabular statement.
Information relating to 1969 is not to hand at present but I will let the Deputy have it immediately it becomes available.
Following is the statement:
