Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Saggart (Dublin) Unemployment.
61.
asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware of the large number of unemployed persons in the Saggart area, County Dublin, arising out of the closure of the paper mills; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Question Nos. 61 and 62 together.
The information available does not indicate a serious unemployment position at Saggart. There are no special plans for the provision of an industry there. I should mention that nearby Tallaght is experiencing rapid industrial expansion.
The remaining questions will appear on tomorrow's Order Paper.
