While not accepting the implication in the Deputy's question that there is a depression existing among labourers and small farmers in Co. Cavan, I am arranging with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle that the allocation from the Employment and Emergency Schemes Vote for Co. Cavan in the financial year 1960/61, which is in the form of a tabular statement, will be circulated in the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
