asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he will give for the year ended 31st March, 1960, the total cost of the personnel of the Board of Córas Iompair Éireann, such figure to include salaries, wages, expenses, clerical and other assistance.

I assume the Deputy's question refers to the entire C.I.E. undertaking. The total cost of the personnel of the undertaking for the year ended 31st March, 1960, was £11,768,000, including salaries, wages, superannuation and social welfare contributions and all other staff benefits payable by the Board.
