asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the basis of his original request to An Comh-Chomhairle Chorcaí of Fianna Fáil to set up a study group on the "Buy Irish—Sell Irish" question; the cost, if any, of this report to his Department; and if he will place a copy of the report in the Oireachtas Library.

The body referred to in the Deputy's question indicated last year its desire to set up study groups to investigate subjects which might be of particular interest to Government Departments. My Department suggested that they might carry out a study on the subject of "Buy Irish" and "Sell Irish". The report, which did not involve any expenditure by my Department, is at present being examined and I cannot say at this stage whether it will be published or placed in the Oireachtas Library.
