asked the Minister for Finance if he will state whether in view of the numerous complaints made as to delay by the Customs Authorities in clearing motor parts and accessories arriving at the ports of Saorstát Eireann he will cause inquiry to be made as to whether it is possible to arrange for a more expeditious discharge of these goods from the custody of the Revenue Officers; whether, also, as the complaints of delay are particularly serious in regard to articles arriving by parcels post, he will give special attention to the causes responsible for these delays.
May I say, while asking this question, that we all are sorry because of the Minister's illness, and regret his absence.
