Vol. 186 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Factories: Location and Employment.

13.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state in respect of each of the thirteen articles specified in the Imposition of Duties Bill, 1961, (1) the name and location of the factory producing such articles and (2) the number of (a) males (b) females and (c) juveniles employed permanently in such production.

The reply to the Deputy's question is in the form of a tabular statement which I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report. The firms listed in the statement are those which to the knowledge of my Department are engaged in the production of the articles concerned. The list is not necessarily exhaustive.

It would not be appropriate to furnish particulars which would have the effect of discovering information regarding the employment given by individual concerns and the figures given regarding employment are limited by this consideration.
