Mr. Leonard
I am aware of the report referred to in the Deputy's question. The Industrial Development Authority have recently completed a study of the Irish furniture industry and is currently reviewing grant policy for the industry in the light of the report of the study. The aim will be to encourage the industry to develop along lines offering the best prospects for the future.
