asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will indicate the number and size of the boats he proposes having built for inshore fishermen in 1954.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Boats for Inshore Fishermen.
Mr. Walsh
I assume that the Deputy refers to the boat-building programme of An Bord Iascaigh Mhara. I am informed by the board that it is not possible to settle in advance a precise boat-building programme covering the entire year, but it is expected that it will be possible to provide 14 motor fishing boats during 1954.
