asked the Minister for Fisheries if he will state the amounts expended by the Land Commission on estate improvement works in the Gaeltacht, and in the area formerly administered by the Congested Districts Board in the years 1924-5, 1925-6, 1926-7, and 1927-8.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - IMPROVEMENT WORKS IN GAELTACHT AND CONGESTED DISTRICTS.
The amount expended out of the Improvement Fund by the Land Commission on estate improvement works in the years 1924-5, 1925-6, 1926-7 and 1927-8 in the counties in which the Congested Districts Board operated were:—

1924-5 |
86,039 |
|
|
1925-6 |
87,570 |
|
|
1926-7 |
116,702 |
|
|
1927-8 |
170,000 |
(estimated) |
The accounts for 1927-8 have not yet been finally made up and the figure given for that year is, therefore, an estimated figure, subject to revision.
The figures for the Gaeltacht cannot be given separately, as the accounts of the Land Commission do not distinguish between the expenditure in this area and the other portions of the counties.
