asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that the workers in the Muckross estate, Killarney, are entitled to an increase in wages; and, if so, if he will state whether this increase will be granted.

Following the recent order made by the Agricultural Wages Board an increase in the wages of certain workers at the Bourn Vincent Memorial Park is at present under consideration. I hope to be able to announce a decision shortly. The increase will have effect from 28th April, 1952.
