In the Economic Journal, March, 1933, I based an estimate of the
national income of the population of the Irish Free State in 1926 on
the published official statistics in the reports on the Census of Population
and Censuses of Production and in the annual reports of the
Revenue Commissioners. As Appendix E to the Report of the Commission
of Inquiry into De-Rating (1931) there is an interesting calculation of
the distribution of taxation between agriculturists and non-agriculturists
in the Irish Free State. I propose to carry this investigation further
in an attempt to ascertain how the estimated national income of
#164.5 million in 1926 was spent. Adding back #.5 million for assurance
premiums (net) paid to outside companies, the total income becomes
#165 million. This does not include old age pensions, which in 1926-27
amounted to #2.5 million. They were excluded from national income
because they are not pensions based on economic service and represent
no more than an internal transfer of income on social grounds; but
they are part of the spendable fund and must therefore be treated in
the national expenditure which, with savings, should amount to
#167.5 million.
