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