asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the nature of the industry proposed to be established in Annagry factory, County Donegal.

The question as to what industry should be established at Annagry has not yet been decided.

Would the Minister state what he considers is a reasonable time for the Department to make up its mind as to what industry it is proposed to establish there?

That is the stuff.

It is not a question of the Department making up its mind in this case. It depends on other circumstances altogether.

Has the Minister definitely decided to set up an industry in that area?

Yes, that is the intention.

Before the next by-election.

That was the practice.

It was the practice when Cumann na nGaedheal were in office. It has become the practice again.
