asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht if his attention has been drawn to a recent statement concerning the losses in Gaeltarra Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Glacaim agam go bhfuil an Teachta ag tagairt do Chuntais Ghaeltarra Éireann don bhliain 1959/60 a leagadh faoi bharáid gach Tí den Oireachtas le déanaí. Is gearr anois go mbeidh Meastachán Roinn na Gaeltachta don bhliain 1961/62 ós comhair na Dála agus is dóigh liom gur feiliúnaí fanacht leis an ócáid sin le ráiteas a thabhairt.

Will the Minister say if the figure for losses in the 1959/60 period are as accurate as those for 1958/59?

Fan go bhfeicidh tú an Meastachán.
