asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether, in view of the fact that hackney owners depend for their livelihood on their cars, he will consider giving them priority for the purchase of tyres and tubes.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tyres and Tubes for Hackney Cars.
There are no tyres in sizes suitable for cars available for distribution at present. I anticipate that there may be an improvement in the supply position within the next few months sufficient to enable such distribution to be made but I am not prepared at this stage to give any assurance that priority will be given to hackney owners.
