I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 together.
The numbers of new industries, as distinct from extensions to existing industries, that came to notice as having commenced production in each county and county borough during each of the years 1958 to 1961 inclusive are set out in a tabular statement, which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to have circulated with the Official Report.
There is no obligation on private industrial concerns to furnish periodical returns of employment to me. Information which may be furnished by industrial undertakings from time to time at my request about their employment position is treated as confidential and cannot be disclosed.
The departmental records have not been kept in a form which would enable me readily to state in what number of cases, if any, the Department became aware of a cesser of production by an industry which had commenced production in the period 1958 to 1961.
Following is the statement:
NUMBERS of New Industries in each County and County Borough that came to notice as having commenced Production in the calendar years 1958 to 1961 (inclusive).
