Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - National Income.

12.

asked the Taoiseach the percentage of the real per capita national income 1969 represented by the real per capita national income of 1974, 1979 and 1984 respectively.

(Dún Laoghaire): Using the average of output and expenditure figures the real per capita gross national product in 1974 was estimated at 114.6 per cent of the 1969 level. The corresponding estimate for 1979 was 127.8 per cent. For 1983, the latest year for which information is available, the estimate is 124.9 per cent based on expenditure data.

Did I gather that the Minister said that the figure for 1983 was 124.9 per cent?

(Dún Laoghaire): That is correct.

And what is the 127.8 per cent for?

(Dún Laoghaire): 1979.
