Go gceaduíonn Dáil Eireann leis seo an tOrdú chun Iomportálanna do Rialú (Quota Uimh. 1) (Leasú Uimh. 2), 1935, do rinne an Ard-Chomhairle an 18adh lá de Mheitheamh, 1935, fén Acht chun Iomportálanna do Rialú, 1934 (Uimh. 12 de 1934).
That Dáil Eireann hereby approves of Control of Imports (Quota No. 1) (Amendment No. 2) Order, 1935, made on the 18th day of June, 1935, by the Executive Council under the Control of Imports Act, 1934 (No. 12 of 1934).
The Quota No. 1 Order, as Deputies will remember, regulates the importation of a certain range of sizes of outer covers for motor tyres. That quota order was made with a view to ensuring to the Dunlop factory at Cork the whole, or approximately the whole, market in those sizes. The factory found itself in a position to be able to undertake the complete manufacture of certain sizes, of the more popular sizes, in the first instance, and in order to prevent licences which were issued under the Quota No. 1 Order being used for the importation of these sizes of tyres, it was decided by the Executive Council to make this amendment order. Its effect is to remove from the scope of Quota Order No. 1 the more popular sizes which the Dunlop factory was commencing to manufacture, so that in the quota period which commenced on 1st July, 1935, licences issued under the Quota No. 1 Order were not valid for the importation of the popular sizes.
The next resolution on the Order Paper deals with the quota order which was made simultaneously and which covers the sizes of tyres which were excluded from the No. 1 Order by the amendment order which the Dáil is now being asked to approve.
