Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Fuel Position in Swords.
There have been fuel difficulties in Swords, as in most other places, arising out of the general shortage of burnable turf; these difficulties, however, are not in any way related to the number of licensed fuel merchants operating in the district. While temporary shortages have occurred it is not the case that there have been no supplies available in Swords.
