asked the Minister for Education the amount of the grant given to each vocational committee in the State for the year 1962-63, and the amount raised by way of rates for each such committee for the same year.

The reply is in the form of a tabular statement which with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

TABLE showing the maximum amounts of State grants which may be paid to Vocational Education Committees for the financial year 1962-63, and the amount raised by way of rates for each Committee for the same year.
