Mr. Dunne
A smelter company registered here is examining the findings of a feasibility study on the question of establishing a lead-zinc smelter in this country, but I understand that they have not as yet made a decision in the matter. I am aware that the Limerick region was among a number of possible locations which were investigated by the company; but the final choice of a location, if it is decided to establish a smelter is, of course, a matter for the promoters.
