Vol. 274 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Irish Steel Holdings Ltd. Orders.

43.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce the orders received for rolling by Irish Steel Holdings Ltd. in the three-month period July to September, 1974 and for the same period in 1973 and in 1972.

It is not my practice to intervene in the ordinary operations of Irish Steel Holdings, Ltd., and I do not consider that it would be appropriate for me to reveal the information requested which is of a confidential commercial nature.

Would the Minister check on this, because my information is that it is on the decline and that could have very serious consequences and would be a sign of the deterioration in the erection of haybarns and other structures requiring the use of iron and galvanised steel. Would the Minister keep an eye on this?

I will, certainly.
