Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Expenditure on Old Age Pensions.
The figures for total revenue paid into the Exchequer in 1928-29, 1938-39 and 1948-49 are contained in Account No. 1 of the Finance Accounts for those years. Expenditure on old age pensions is shown in the Appropriation Accounts for those years. All these publications are available in the Oireachtas Library. As regards 1958-59, I already gave the Deputy the information he asks for in reply to a question by him on 29th May last.
