Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Distress in Kildare.

Mr. Harris asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he is aware that acute distress exists in many districts in County Kildare, due to unemployment as a result of agricultural depression, and that the situation is particularly aggravated, due to reduced production of beet, and [1606] what steps it is proposed to take to deal with the situation.

Minister for Local Government and Public Health (General Mulcahy): I have had no representations to this effect made to me by the local responsible authority—the Kildare Board of Health and Public Assistance.
