asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will give the names of firms or individuals who established the ninety-nine factories referred to in a reply of 10th November, 1960; and if he will state in each case (a) the types of goods processed or manufactured, (b) the nominal capital involved, and (c) the estimated number of employees.
Written Answer. - Establishment of Factories.
62.
The names of the firms or individuals who established the ninety-nine factories referred to and a reply to parts (a) and (b) of the Deputy's question are given in a tabular statement which I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have circulated with the official report.
As regards (b), the Deputy will understand that the nominal capital does not necessarily represent the total capital investment in a particular project.
With regard to part (c), it would not be appropriate for me to give individual employment figures in respect of private commercial firms.
