Vol. 4 No. 9

[ WRITTEN ANSWERS. ] - THREATENED PORT STRIKE IN DUBLIN.

Before we go into the ordinary business of the day, might I be permitted to ask the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether it is, or was, the Government's intention to continue to bring about a settlement of the trouble at the Dublin Ports, or whether it means that a deadlock has arrived that will mean the closing down of the Dublin Ports on Monday?

Yesterday a conference, which lasted for several hours, took place in the Ministry. I regret that at that conference the parties failed to come to an agreement. Before leaving, both parties were assured that the best services of the Ministry would be at their disposal whenever they would feel that they might be helpful. The Ministry will certainly use its very best endeavours to see that the dispute in question is settled with as little delay as possible. As we wish to be helpful, I think that that is about as far as I can make any statement at the present moment.
