asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the date on which An Bord Iascaigh Mhara purchased frigidaire vans for the distribution of fresh fish, the number and cost of the vans so purchased, and the use made of them since the date of purchase.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Purchase of Frigidaire Vans.
I presume the Deputy is referring to insulated vans. I am informed that two such vans were ordered by An Bord Iascaigh Mhara in January, 1954, and delivered in March, 1954, at a cost of £1,320 each. One has since been used for delivery of fish in the Limerick area and the second is similarly employed in the Dublin area.
