asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether, having regard to the extensive and sustained shortage in the supply of shotgun cartridges to licensed dealers in certain areas, he will have steps taken to ensure a more equitable distribution thereof in the future.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Shotgun Cartridges.
I am not aware that there is any extensive shortage of shotgun cartridges in any area, but I am informed that demands on the manufacturers have increased and that there is, in consequence, unavoidable delays in executing orders.
If the Deputy knows of a case where a dealer is unable to obtain his normal requirements, I will arrange to have the matter inquired into.
