Dr. Ryan
Formal notification of a strike on road work at Ennis was received by the local officer of the Department of Industry and Commerce at Ennis on the 9th instant. The Department has not made a special investigation as to the causes of the strike. As regards the last part of the question, I am satisfied that all applicants submitted by the Department's local officer at Ennis to the surveyor of the Clare County Council were selected in accordance with the Department's instructions.
