Mr. Tully

asked the Taoiseach if he will give particulars of agricultural employment, i.e. permanent farm employees over eighteen years, and farm tractors in County Dublin in (1) 1961 and (2) 1962, in each district electoral division included in the agricultural enumeration in either or both years, and the totals for each year.

The Taoiseach

The following statement gives the particulars requested by the Deputy as returned in the enumeration books of each District Electoral Division or part of a District Electoral Division in Dublin situated outside the Dublin Metropolitan Garda District. The method of enumeration employed is such that certain holdings may be enumerated in the returns for different DED's in different years according to the arrangements made between the Enumerators. Consequently the figures for individual DED's are not necessarily comparable in successive years.
