With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 33 and 34 together.
The information requested in Question No. 33 is in the form of a tabular statement which I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.
As regards Question No. 34 the available statistics in relation to chattel mortgages registered under the Agricultural Credit Acts do not distinguish between those secured on farmers' stock and other chattels and those secured otherwise. The total numbers of all chattel mortgages registered in the years ended 31st December, 1957, and 31st December, 1967, are two and 678 respectively, as shown in the statement given in reply to Question No. 33.
Following is the statement:
NUMBER of Chattel Mortgages registered in each Circuit Court Office under the Agricultural Credit Acts in the years ended 31st December, 1957, 31st December, 1962 and 31st December, 1967.
