Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Motor Vehicles and Parts from Dollar Area.
Mr. O'Higgins
In the year 1951 motor vehicles and parts to the value of £1,044,770 were imported from dollar areas. Government policy in the matter is aimed at providing sufficient dollars to enable this industry to continue operations so far as practicable at a reasonable rate and to maintain employment.
