asked the Minister for Finance whether all the sums collectable in respect of repayments to the Commissioners of Public Works and to the Irish Land Commission in respect of loans from the British Local Loans Fund outstanding on 1st April, 1922 and 1923, respectively, were collected for the years ended 1931, 1932, 1933 and 1934 and, if not, if he will state what amounts were outstanding in each of those years.

I am circulating with the Parliamentary Debates the information required by the Deputy.

Following is the reply:—

Arrears of Moneys collectable by the Commissioners of Public Works and the Irish Land Commission on foot of advances from the Local Loans Fund outstanding on the 1st April, 1922, and 1st April, 1923, respectively.
