asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if the flotation plant owned by Mianrai Teoranta at Avoca is in use or is likely to be used in the early future and if any application for the hire or purchase of this plant has been made by the Wicklow Mining Company, now operating near Glendalough; and, if so, whether it is proposed to facilitate the company in this matter.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Use of Flotation Plant.
Any question of the use of plant owned by Mianrai Teoranta or of the hire or disposal of such plant is, of course, one for the company. I understand, however, that while the plant to which the Deputy refers is not in use at present, the company think they may need it for certain operations and that they have been unable, therefore, to facilitate the other company to which the Deputy refers.
