Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - North Tipperary Farm Valuations.
I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a tabular statement giving particulars for Tipperary North Riding of the numbers of agricultural holdings classified by valuation as returned in the 1960 Agricultural Enumeration. Corresponding particulars for the numbers of persons whose principal occupation is that of "farmer" will not be available until the results of the 1961 Census of Population have been compiled.
Following is the statement:
