asked the Minister for Lands the expenditure by the Land Commission on works in County Offaly in respect of each of the five years ended the 31st March, 1962.

The reply takes the form of a tabular statement which I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

Expenditure by Land Commission on labour, materials and miscellaneous expenses required for purpose of building and general estate improvement works in County Offaly in each of the five years ended the 31st March, 1962.
