Records of the numbers of works and of the expenditure under the Employment and Emergency Schemes Vote are not kept for separate rural districts, but the following approximate figures are the aggregate for the rural districts of Clifden, Galway and Oughterard for the two years in question:—

Year

Number of Works

Approximate Expenditure

£

1947/48

168

34,255

1948/49

136

39,030

The figures do not include expenditure under the farm improvements scheme and lime and seed subsidies, administered by the Department of Agriculture, as follows:—

1947-48

£19,145

1948-49

£11,535

The larger expenditure on the Department of Agriculture sub-heads in 1947-48 includes an unusually heavy carry forward from the previous financial year, accounted for by the severe weather experienced in the latter part of that year.

There was not very much red tape then.

You used plenty of it while you were there.
