Vol. 237 No. 7

Ceisteann—Questions. Oral Answers. - Semi-State Companies' Statistics.

7.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will give details of (a) the share capital, (b) loan capital, (c) profit or loss, (d) total wages paid, (e) number of employees and (f) the amount and value of exports from each of the semi-State companies for which his Department is responsible for each of the years 1951, 1958 and 1961 to 1968 inclusive.

As the answer is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the information in so far as it is available:
