Grants are not allocated for Christmas Relief Schemes as such. Grants totalling £850, subject to a local contribution of £285, have been notified to Tipperary North Riding County Council for employment schemes in the four non-urbanised towns in the area which qualified for such grants this year. The schemes are calculated to give employment to a total of 43 men for a period of about three weeks.
