asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state the average weekly number of wet-time stamps sold in each month of the years 1950, 1951 and 1957, and in January and February, 1958.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Sale of Wet-Time Stamps.
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—

NOTE.—Since 1st October, 1956, figures are compiled quarterly and not on a monthly basis. For that reason figures in respect of January and February, 1958, are not available.
asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state (a) the highest number of wet-time stamps sold in a week since 1950, and (b) the lowest number sold in a week since that date, giving the date in each case.
Statistics of sales of wet-time stamps are not compiled weekly, and it is not, therefore, possible to supply the information asked for by the Deputy.
