Ceist:85 Mr. L. Fitzgerald asked the Minister for the Marine the cost, to date, of the liquidation of Irish Shipping Limited; if this cost is in keeping with the estimated cost of the liquidation at the time of the decision to liquidate; if not, the reason for the difference in costs; the Department's estimated cost of the liquidation to the State at that time; his views on whether the real cost could have been less, given the significant improvement in the shipping freight rate; and his views on whether the freight shipping lines which stayed in operation are experiencing a lucrative market at present.
