asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he has contingency plans to provide an employment exchange at Kilcock, County Kildare.
Persons from the Kilcock area register their unemployment at the employment office, Maynooth. As Kilcock is only four miles from Maynooth and as only a small number of persons from the Kilcock area are registered as unemployed, the setting up of an employment exchange in Kilcock would not be justified.
