2.
It is estimated that non-contributory social cash benefits in 1965-66 amounted to 2.9 per cent of gross national product.
Is that an increased percentage or a reduced percentage.
Of what?
Of the gross national product from previous years.
I have not got the figures for other years.
If it were an increase, the Minister would have them. If it were a statement about Cloon Burn in Donegal, the Minister would have it.
