asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the number of licences issued by his Department in regard to industrial projects in North Galway in the last two years.

An Irish company complying with the Control of Manufactures Acts, does not require a licence for the purpose of a new industrial undertaking. If the Deputy has in mind the provisions of the Control of Manufactures Act no licence under that Act has been issued in respect of an industrial undertaking in North Galway during the past two years.
