asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state whether notice of intention by Ceimici Teoranta to manufacture copper sulphate has been issued; whether a report of its manufacture has been submitted to him, and, if so, when a decision is likely to be made; further, if he will make a statement in the matter.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers - Copper Sulphate.
Pursuant to Section 7 of the Industrial Alcohol (Amendment) Act, 1947, notice of intention to grant a licence to Ceimici Teoranta for the manufacture of copper sulphate has been published. In applying for the licence the company gave certain particulars as to the proposed basis of manufacture. As other Government Departments are concerned, I cannot say when a decision will be taken, nor am I in a position at present to make a statement concerning the matter.
