In 1961, I approved of a Technical Assistance grant to Lady's Well Barytes Ltd to enable it to carry out exploration and development work in the barytes mine at Duneen Bay, Clonakilty. I understand that the company has been proceeding with the work for which the grant was approved. I hope, as a result of these operations, that it will be found possible to resume the production of barytes in this locality.
