Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Monaghan Mineral Deposits.
A general geological survey of mineral deposits in County Monaghan was not carried out in 1953 and the second part of the question does not, therefore, arise. In the course of its ordinary duties, however, the Geological Survey Office undertook the examination of certain mineral deposits in County Monaghan in 1953.
Records and reports on the mineral deposits in County Monaghan are open for public inspection at the Office of the Geological Survey.
