: As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate it will the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
* Refusals are given as percentages of actual decisions in the year rather than of applications received as in many cases applications received in one year would not be decided until the following calendar year.
