asked the Taoiseach details of family car and tractor expenses for the north and west region as revealed in the National Farm Survey in the form of a reply of 28th April, 1960.
The following statement shows the particulars requested concerning the farms, in the 100-200 acre and over 200 acre size groups, which were included throughout the three years of the National Farm Survey. Because of the small number of farms involved a sub-classification into income groups has not been carried out for these size groups in the North and West Region.
