Having regard to the number of proposals submitted by local authorities since the 1 April 1979, which relate to the classes of workers referred to in the question or which could be regarded as including such workers, the information required by the Deputy could not be readily compiled. However, some relevant information is set out in a tabular statement, which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to have circulated with the Official Report.
