Go ndeontar suim bhreise ná raghaidh thar £7,400 chun íoctha an mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1939, chun Deolchairí ar shiúicre do rinneadh as biatas dúthchais agus ar a n-íoctar ais-tarrac, ar thobac do rinneadh as duille dúthchais agus ar a n-íoctar ais-tarrac, agus ar thobac do fásadh in Éirinn tar éis an ladh Eanar, 1934, agus do dáilíodh ar dhéantóir agus do díthíodh ina dhiaidh sin mar thobac a bhí neamh-oiriúnach le haghaidh déantóireachta.
That a supplementary sum not exceeding £7,400 be granted to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1939, for Bounties on sugar made from home-grown beet on which drawback is paid, tobacco manufactured from home-grown leaf on which drawback is paid, and tobacco grown in Ireland after 1st January, 1934, allocated to manufacturer and subsequently destroyed as unfit for manufacture.
The total additional sum required in this Estimate is £7,400, made up as to £5,000 under sub-head A, which relates to bounties on sugar made from home-grown beet, and as to £2,400 in respect of tobacco grown in Ireland after 1st January, 1934, allocated to a manufacturer, and subsequently destroyed. It will be remembered that in the Budget speech I indicated that it was our intention to make a drawback in respect of home-grown tobacco allocated to a manufacturer and subsequently destroyed, and provision was made in Section 23 of the Finance Act this year to enable that to be done. A sum of £2,400 is required to give effect to that decision and to the statutory provision. The remaining supplementary sum of £5,000 is required because it has been ascertained that a large manufacturing and exporting concern will require a larger amount of home-manufactured sugar than was originally contracted for and was contemplated when the original Estimate was prepared. It is probable that almost 3,000 tons of home-manufactured sugar will rank for payment of bounty in the current financial year, and to enable this bounty to be paid an additional sum of £5,000 is required. I suppose the House understands that this bounty is paid on the export of manufactured goods in which home-manufactured sugar has been used.
