Vol. 162 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Ministers' Business Associations.

asked the Taoiseach whether all the Ministers in the present Government who, on taking up office, were either directors of, or had any other controlling or business association with any exporting company or corporation or any manufacturing business or other industrial or shipping concern, have resigned from such businesses, companies or concerns.

Where steps were necessary to comply with the principle stated in my reply to the question addressed to me by the Deputy on the 24th April last, they have been taken—that is, no Minister or Parilamentary Secretary now holds any position that could reasonably be regarded as interfering, or being incompatible, with the full and proper discharge by him of the duties of his office, such as a company directorship carrying remuneration.
