asked the Minister for Transport and Power the number of firms who have availed themselves of grants from his Department to engage consultants to carry out fuel efficiency surveys.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Fuel Efficiency Surveys.
12.
The number of firms who have been paid such grants since the present scheme got under way in 1958 is 100.
In present circumstances would the Minister consider improving the scheme, because 100 does not seem very substantial?
No, it does not. The Deputy may have seen that, starting last Sunday, we have embarked on a new scheme of grants not alone for consultants but for the actual installation of the conservation scheme.
I hope it meets with success.
