asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state whether any request or direction has been given by him to Córas Iompair Éireann to utilise the services of its architect and other consultants in the preparation of plans for the conversion of its Store Street premises for use by the Department of Social Welfare; and, if so, whether any assurance has been given that the cost of such services will be recouped to Córas Iompair Éireann and if he will give an estimate of the cost of preparing the conversion plans and the manner in which it is proposed to be defrayed.

I have not given any request or direction on this matter to Córas Iompair Éireann. The second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
