asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce what investigations have been undertaken by the Institute for Industrial Research and Standards into the problem of water pollution; and whether their investigations will be taken account of by the water resources division of An Foras Forbartha.

The Institute for Industrial Research and Standards has been investigating particular effluent problems for individual industrial concerns and local authorities, on request. It does not carry out investigations into water pollution on a national scale.
I cannot speak for An Foras Forbartha, but the results of the institute's investigations can be made available to them subject to the consent of the organisations concerned.
