This digital scan from the REO News displays the following text:
"Lullymore: Much of this 55 square mile area is occupied by Bord na Mona.” Labour was a difficult problem…. Approx. 70% of the 237 consumers installed outside lights… A successful switch‑on demonstration week helped sales to reach £1,450, among people who rely a lot on casual Bord na Mona employment."
