asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware that there is a growing demand among householders for Lullymore briquettes, and, if so, if he will ask Bord na Móna to consider the desirability of increasing its output of these briquettes at an early date.

I am aware that there is a growing demand for Lullymore briquettes. I have been assured by Bord na Móna that the output of these briquettes is being increased to the maximum possible extent.
