asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the amount of money allocated to each county under the Relief Schemes Vote, 1930.

I propose to have printed in the Official Report a tabular statement giving the information asked for, so far as it is at present possible to do so.

The following is the tabular statement referred to:—

Statement showing the amount of money allocated to each county out of the Relief Schemes Vote, 1930-31.

The balance of the amount provided in the Vote (£20,461) has been allocated for schemes to be undertaken under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture. It is not yet possible to allocate the expenditure on these schemes on a county basis.
