asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht how many persons, apart from technical and executive staff, as the case may be, were employed on 1st March, 1957, and 25th May, 1957, respectively, at the knitting centres at Geesala, Belmullet, Muings, Pullathomas, Carrateigue and Bangor Erris, and at the toy and bag making centres at Elly Bay; and whether the persons employed on 25th May, 1957, are working whole-time or part-time.

Maidir leis na figiúirí seo ba mhaith liom a mhíniú nach raibh aon dul ag Gaeltarra Éireann ón táirgeacht d'earraí cniotála cláracha a laghdú toisc í a bheith ró-árd le bliain anuas i gcomórtas leis na díolacháin. Chuige sin do cheadaigh an tAire a chuaigh romham gan folúntais sna hionaid cniotála a líonadh ach gan an laghdú fóirne a ligean thar an gceathrú cuid in aon chás áirithe. Chonacthas, áfach, tar éis tamaill nár leor an laghdú táirgeachta a thiocfadh dá bharr sin agus cinneadh le gairid narbh fholáir chomh maith an táirgeacht a ghearradh anuas fiche faoin gcéad. Césmoite den ghearradh sin tá na hoibrithe sna hionaid thuasluaite ag obair go lánaimsearach.
The position would appear to be, then, that the Minister cannot employ sufficient girls in these centres but he can authorise the payment of 25 per cent. discount to Dublin traders.
Ní bhaineann sé sin leis an cheist in aon chor.
