Vol. 96 No. 18

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Unemployment Assistance Fund.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the amounts paid annually to the unemployment assistance fund by each local authority liable to pay such contributions in the financial years 1940-41, 1941-42, 1942-43, 1943-44, and 1944-45.

There is no unemployment assistance fund. I am circulating with the Official Report a statement showing the amounts received from local bodies under Section 26 of the Unemployment Assistance Act, 1933 (as amended). The various sums were appropriated in aid of the Unemployment Insurance and Unemployment Assistance Vote.
