Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Population of Scheduled Towns.
1.
Population figures for towns are available only in respect of the boundaries as defined for Census of Population purposes and these boundaries do not in all cases coincide with those adopted by the planning authorities in connection with the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963.
With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the required information.
Following is the statement:
Population of the scheduled towns in Counties Westmeath, Louth, Meath and Dublin, as recorded at the Census of Population, 1966.
