asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce the total grants and loans (a) paid and (b) sanctioned for payment, to each industry in County Sligo since the Industrial Development Authority was established.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Grants and Loans to Sligo Industries.
I have no function in the matter of industrial loans and consequently I cannot answer the part of the question relating to this service.
As the information sought by the Deputy as regards grants is in the form of a tabular statement I propose with your permission, A Cheann Comhairle, to have the statement circulated with the Official Report.
Detailed information is given in the statement up to 31st March, 1968. The information for the year ended 31st March, 1969, is given globally. Details of this will appear in the annual report of An Foras Tionscal for the year ended 31st March, 1969, when it is published.
Following is the statement:—
