Mr. Corish
There is no relationship between the rate of wages paid to forestry labourers at any particular centre and the number of men employed at that centre. The rates of wages are as follows:—
|
Killakee, Saggart and Enniskerry Forests |
58/- a week. |
|
Delgany, Glencree, Glendalough, Glenealy, Rathnew, Blessington, Roundwood, Hollywood, Dundalk, Donadea, Edenderry, Arklow, Avoca, Avondale, Aughrim, Ballinglen, Glen Imaal, Glenmalure and Rathdrum Forests |
55/6 a week. |
|
All other Forests |
52/- a week. |
In addition to these rates a differential of 2/- a week is payable to selected labourers of long service and experience.
