Vol. 232 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rates Collection.

22.

asked the Minister for Local Government the amount per head of the population in rates in respect of each county and county borough, and the average for the whole country for the years ending 31st March, 1966, and 31st March, 1968; and the estimated amounts for the year ending 31st March, 1969.

The information sought by the Deputy in respect of the year ended 31st March, 1969, is not yet available. As the balance of the information is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

TABLE showing the amount of rates per head of the population in respect of each county and county borough and the average for the whole country for the years ended 31st March, 1966 and 31st March, 1968.
