Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tariff Reductions: Redundancy in Irish Industry.

63.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether employment in Irish industries will be affected by the unilateral reduction of Irish tariffs prior to entry into the European Economic Community; and, if so, what steps the Government propose to take to deal with any redundancy which may so arise.

It is not anticipated that employment in Irish industries will be affected by the general cut in industrial protective tariffs to be made on 1st January next. It is expected that the expansion of industrial employment will continue.
