The information requested by the Deputy is not available in my Department. I have made enquiries from the undertakings concerned and am informed that it will take some time to assemble the required particulars. Perhaps the Deputy would repeat his question or, if he would prefer it, I will communicate the information to him when it becomes available in so far as it is not of a confidential nature.
Perhaps the Minister would refer this matter to Deputy McGilligan as he suggests and the Deputy can then put the question down during the next session so that it will be put on record.
