asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he can state the number of employees (of all grades) in the service of the Great Southern Railways Company on January 1st, 1925, the number employed on full time on September 30th, 1925, and the number working short time on that date; how many employees have so far been rendered redundant as a result of the operation of the Railways Act, 1924, to what grades they belong, and by what companies they were employed previous to January 1st, 1925, and also whether compensation has been paid in accordance with the terms laid down in the 3rd Schedule of the Act.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - GREAT SOUTHERN RAILWAYS COMPANY EMPLOYEES.
I am informed by the Great Southern Railways Company that the position is as follows:—
The number of employees of all grades in the service of the Companies now constituting the Great Southern Railways on the 1st January, 1925, was 17,447. On 30th September, 1925, 13,022 employees were working on full time, and 3,508 were working on short time. The number of employees so far rendered redundant as the result of the operation of the Railways Act, 1924, is 250. Particulars of the grades and employing companies prior to 1st January, 1925, involve much detail, and I would propose to circulate them with the Official Report. Compensation in accordance with the terms of the 3rd Schedule of the Railways Act, 1924, has been paid to a large number of the men concerned, and further claims in this connection are under investigation.
