Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Brussels International Exhibition.
An invitation to participate in the Brussels International Exhibition was received on the 27th June, 1954. In September, 1955, the matter was considered by an interdepartmental committee, following which a proposal to participate in the exhibition was submitted to the Government, but was later withdrawn again. The proposal appears then to have been dropped and no further action is recorded.
