Vol. 94 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Publication of Trade Journal.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if an Irish monthly trade journal which has been printed and published in Belfast since 1934 can now be printed and published in Éire. and what regulations or restrictions operate in such a matter.

The Emergency Powers (Production of Periodicals other than Newspapers) Order, 1942, prohibits, save under permit, the printing or publishing here of any periodical which was not published during the year 1940. This would appear to cover the case of the journal referred to by the Deputy.

Having regard to the shortage of supplies of all classes of printing paper, I would not be prepared to grant a permit for the printing or publication of the journal referred to.
