asked the Minister for Social Welfare how many recipients of contributory widows' pension there were (1) in the country and (2) in the Kildare constituency on 1st February 1965.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 12 and 13 together and to furnish the available information in the form of a tabular statement to be circulated with the Official Report.
The information requested by the Deputy is not available in respect of constituencies, as the statistics compiled by my Department relate to administrative counties and county boroughs only. The information is given, accordingly, in respect of County Kildare.
Following is the statement:
