asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if in view of the serious depopulation of County Leitrim he has any proposals for the provision of an industry in the county which would give employment at home to young men and girls who have to emigrate at present.

I am aware of one proposal for the establishment of an industry in County Leitrim. Three firms have been approved for assistance under the Small Industries Programme since 1st April, 1970, bringing the total number of approvals for the county to 24. A further eight applications under the programme are under consideration.
