9.

Mr. Crinion

asked the Minister for Transport and Power the number of persons employed by Bord na Móna on the first day of each month for the past five years in (1) County Kildare, (2) County Meath and (3) County Westmeath.

Minister for Transport and Power (Mr. Childers)

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

Following is the statement:

NUMBER of men employed in Counties Kildare, Meath and Westmeath on the first day of each month for July, 1957—July, 1962.
