As far as discussing facts are concerned, the last person in this House with whom I would discuss facts is Deputy Flanagan.

The number of men employed by local authorities on house building at 31st January, 1958, was 2,604. The number of men employed at 31st January, 1957, was 4,580.

We had to put up the money. In fact, it is the same answer. We are trying to pay the debts incurred before we came in.
I think we have to foot the bill to the tune of £900,000 in the present year and we have still a bit to meet in the years to come.
I know that £900,000 will have to be got from the Exchequer in order to bolster up a Road Fund that had already been wrecked.
I shall give the Deputy another one. In 1954, when Fianna Fáil left office, outstanding commitments against the Road Fund——
