asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state whether and, if so, in what circumstances an order was placed for office chairs and desks for the new Store Street building with a Dutch firm in Utrecht and why the order was not given to an Irish firm in view of the Government's policy of fostering Irish industry.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Office Furniture for Store Street Building.

Quite right. That is the proper thing.
