asked the Minister for Finance whether he is now in a position to amend the Regulations relating to hackney cars at the Border in view of the injury to fairs, markets and seaside resorts in the Saorstát, caused by the present restrictions.

The question of amending the Motor Cars (Temporary Importation) Regulations, 1926, in the sense desired by the Deputy is still under consideration, and I hope to reach a decision on the matter within a week.
