Mr. Ryan
The only figures available in regard to the number of itinerants are figures based on checks made by the Garda Síochána in 1944, 1952 and 1956, and they are as follows:—
|
September, 1944 |
5,151 |
|
April, 1952 |
6,275 |
|
September, 1956 |
7,148 |
The checks made in 1944 and 1952 did not include the four County Boroughs or the Borough of Dún Laoghaire.
