asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware that considerable distress exists among the urban working population in the towns of Mayo, and if he is in a position to formulate a plan or scheme which will give remunerative employment to the workmen in these towns and thus relieve the actual want prevalent at the present moment.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - DISTRESS IN MAYO TOWNS.
No representations have previously been made to me in the matter mentioned in the first part of the question. No schemes have yet been received from the Urban Districts in Mayo in connection with the road grants notified to them by letter, dated the 18th February last. I have wired to the Councils concerned.
I am much concerned as to the apathy shown in some cases in the application of monies available for the relief of unemployment.
