Vol. 130 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Exports of Steel.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the total tonnage of scrap or sheet steel (a) exported by the ship-breaking industry situate at Passage, County Cork, during the years 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951, respectively, and (b) delivered to Irish Steel, Limited, by this firm during the same years; further, if he will state the grounds on which a licence to export scrap metal iron, steel and sheet steel was applied for by this firm and the total export covered by the departmental licence.

As information regarding the trading activities of an individual firm must be treated as confidential, I am not prepared to furnish the particulars asked for by the Deputy.
