The number of new industries and extensions to existing industries which have come to notice as having commenced production in the ten-year period 1953 to 1962, inclusive, is 815, comprising 465 new enterprises and 350 extensions to existing enterprises. A break-down of this figure by counties and county boroughs is given in a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to have circulated with the Official Report.
