asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries whether any of the Department's industrial centres (knitting, weaving, etc.), which were in existence on the 1st April, 1932, have since been closed; if so, how many have been closed, and where they were situated.
The industrial centre engaged on poplin weaving at Anagry, Co. Donegal, was closed down on 21st ultimo, as it was failing to show justification for the amount that was being expended upon it.
