CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - SHANNON SCHEME WAGES.

TOMAS MAC EOIN

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state when he expects to lay on the Table the information placed before Siemens-Schuckert by the Executive Council on which they based their wages of 32/- per week of 50 hours, as promised by the President on November 3rd, 1925.

I will circulate this information with the Official Report.

Would it be possible to circulate it privately before the Official Report is printed? Is it available so that I may receive it to-morrow?

It is not available at the moment. I expect it in about an hour or two.

Would it be possible to have this information before the Official Report is circulated?

The Deputy will have his copy of the answer this afternoon. That is the usual practice.

That is what I mean.

The following is the information which was supplied to Messrs. Siemens-Schuckert:—
