asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will give the total amount allocated to industry and commerce during each of the years 1956 and 1966 under various subheads comparable to the information given in regard to agriculture in recent newspaper advertisements issued by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.

As regards the year 1966-67, I would refer the Deputy to the reply given by the Minister for Finance in Dáil Éireann on 15th March, 1967, cols. 799 and 800.
The corresponding information in respect of the year 1956-57 is in the form of a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
