asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he is aware that until recently wooden A. masts for 10 K.V., O.H. lines, used by the Electricity Supply Board, were manufactured in Cork satisfactorily and economically, and that this work has now been transferred to Dublin; and, if so, whether he will request the Electricity Supply Board to continue making these masts in Cork for southern schemes so as to save transport costs and to implement his policy of decentralisation.
