asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if his Department has investigated the possibility of using pre-fabricated materials for building purposes in order to overcome the shortage of ordinary building materials which has arisen during the emergency.
Ceisteanna. — Questions. Oral Answers. - Pre-fabricated Building Materials.
I am not clear what the Deputy has in mind, as shortage of building materials could not be obviated by pre-fabrication. The extent to which pre-fabrication can be of service to the building industry in this country is at present under active consideration in my Department, and whatever possibilities arise in that direction will be carefully investigated.
