Vol. 178 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Employment in Mayo Forests.

86.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the number of men employed in each forest in County Mayo in each of the years 1950 to 1959, inclusive.

The information sought by the Deputy is in the form of a tabular statement which I propose, with the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
