asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether an order has recently been placed, or is about to be placed, by the Contracts Committee, for 50,000 yards of green serge with an English firm; and, if so, whether he will state the reason why this contract was sent out of Ireland.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. [ORAL ANSWERS.] - ORDER FOR GREEN SERGE.
The Ministry of Industry and Commerce does not itself place any contracts, but I will have inquiries made, and will communicate the result to the Deputy.
