Vol. 262 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Manufacturing Job Targets.

33.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will give details of job targets for Counties Laois, Longford, Offaly, Roscommon and Westmeath for the period 1973-1977.

I presume the Deputy refers to the job targets for manufacturing industry included in the Industrial Development Authority's regional industrial plans for the years 1973-77. Details of the job targets for locations in the counties specified are included in the plan for the midlands region. The information requested by the Deputy is set out in a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to have circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

Gross manufacturing job targets for the Midland Region, 1973-1977.
