Vol. 192 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Labourers' Cottages: Vesting Statistics.

71.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state (a) the number of labourers' cottages in each county, (b) the number of such cottages vested, and (c) the percentage of vested cottages in each county.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is a statement of the position as at 31st March, 1961:
