asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state what progress has been made towards the establishment of cement factories in the Saorstát and if he can now indicate the number of such factories to be established and when they are likely to be in production.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Saorstát Cement Factories.
The negotiations with a view to the establishment of the cement factories in the Saorstát are nearing completion but I am not yet in a position to indicate a date by which the factories are likely to be in production. The arrangement when completed will probably provide for the erection of two factories.
