asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state if a milling permit has been refused to Mr. D. F. O'Connor's mill, Abbeyfeale, and, if so, if he will state for what reason; and if he will state whether he is aware that it is essential to have this mill working if the requirements of the locality are to be met; and if it is his intention not to permit this mill working, he will say how it is intended that the local grinding requirements will in future be met.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Milling in Abbeyfeale.
A milling permit was refused in respect of Mr. D.F. O'Connor's mill, Abbeyfeale, on the grounds that the milling facilities in the district were adequate. Recently, however, I received representations concerning this mill from Deputy O Briain, in consequence of which I arranged to have the application for a permit reexamined. I am not yet in a position to indicate what my decision will be.
