asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that by the imposition of the hawker's licence duty of £10 per annum much hardship and suffering has been inflicted on a number of small traders or dealers who usually travel by train to and from fairs and markets in the Saorstát; and whether he will reconsider the case of these industrious and poor traders with a view to the remission or modification of this tax.

I am not aware that any appreciable hardships have been experienced in this connection. If, however, the Deputy will furnish particulars of any cases he has in mind, investigation will be made and a communication sent him in due course.
