The information at my disposal does not enable me to answer the question in the form in which it is put by the Deputy. However, I can say, in relation to the first part of the question, that the estimated total capital investment in grant-aided industries in Ireland in the ten years from 1960 to 1970 amounted to £145.2m. of which £39.2m. was invested in projects promoted entirely by Irish interests.
Regarding the second part of the question, the USA and EEC countries between them accounted for £67.1m. of the total investment figure quoted; the details are——
