asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce the total State grant for each of the past ten years to ship repair and ship construction yards; and whether the position in regard to future orders for ship repairs is considered to be satisfactory.

91.
The information sought by the Deputy is set out in the form of a tabular statement which with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
Orders for ship repairs depend on many factors but I have no reason to think that a satisfactory level of such orders will not be secured in the future.
Following is the statement:
