asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the amount of interest paid by harbour authorities in the Republic of Ireland (a) on money borrowed by way of bank overdraft, (b) on stock issue and (c) on money borrowed from other organisations for the years 1951-52 and 1952-53.
Ceisteanna—Questions Oral Answers. - Harbour Authorities' Interest Payments.
As the information requested is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate the reply with the Official Report.
As I indicated in my reply to the Deputy on 10th February, 1953, harbour authorities are required, under the Harbours Act, 1946, to keep copies of thier audited accounts available for inspection by interested persons on payment of a fee of 1/-.
Following is the statement:—
INTEREST PAID IN EACH OF THE LAST TWO YEARS BY EACH OF THE UNDERMENTIONED HARBOUR AUTHORITIES ON MONEYS BORROWED.
The figures relate to the calendar years 1951 and 1952 unless otherwise stated.
