asked the Taoiseach how many firms in the State are engaged in the boat building industry (a) on the coast and (b) on inland waterways with the number of employees and the estimated annual value of boats built for the years 1964 to 1968.
The particulars required by the Deputy are available only in respect of establishments which furnished returns at the annual Census of Industrial Production for the years 1964 to 1967, which is the latest census completed to date. With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the available particulars.
