With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 273 to 275, inclusive, together.
The information sought by the Deputy is not available in my Department in relation to the dates in question or for all the categories mentioned.
In my reply to Question No. 55 on 28 February 1980 I gave details of the number of construction workers and road workers employed on work for local authorities at 31 December 1979. The following additional information, based on returns submitted by local authorities to my Department in respect of the year ended 31 December, 1979, the latest date for which comprehensive figures are available, is furnished in respect of those grades which approximate to those referred to by the Deputy, employed at that date in the local authorities.
