asked the Minister for Agriculture what was the normal weekly wage paid to agricultural labourers at Weston, Leixlip, County Kildare on 1st December, 1963, and 31st March, 1964, respectively.

I presume the Deputy is referring to agricultural labourers employed at my Department's farm at Backweston, Leixlip, County Kildare. The rate of wages at 1st December, 1963, was £7 10s. per week and at 31st March, 1964, was £7 15s. per week.
