asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he will state what is the amount of the Agricultural Grant withheld by his Department from the Counties of Leix and Offaly, respectively, for the year 1932.

If the Deputy's question relates to the financial year ended 31st March, 1932, the shares of the Laoighis County and Offaly County in the Agricultural Grant for that year that became absorbed in the Guarantee Fund at February, 1932, were £6,472 15s. 10d., and £6,518 7s. 0d., respectively.

Arising out of the Minister's answer, I should like to say that what I did mean to ask was the amount of the grant stopped this year.

What does the Deputy mean by this year?

Up to the 30th September, 1932.

We could not give you a definite answer up to the 30th September, 1932. We could only give a definite answer up to the end of the financial year. The financial year ended on the 31st March last.
