The total amount of grants paid by An Foras Tionscal to this company was £539,800. This sum was paid in 17 instalments between 28th August, 1961, and 24th July, 1967. The responsibility for State loans is not mine. I am informed, however, that a loan of £150,000 was made by the Industrial Credit Company to Potez Industries of Ireland, but I have no information as to the date of payment. I am also informed that a loan of £18,000 was made available to this company from the Regional Development Fund in two instalments in January and March, 1968.
