asked the Minister for Finance what is the total profit or loss made by the Dundalk Engineering Company since its establishment.

The accumulated losses of the Industrial Engineering Company Limited, Dundalk, including its five wholly-owned subsidiaries, as at 31st March, 1963, amounted to £1,790,829. I understand that the corresponding figure as at 31st March, 1964, will be published in conjunction with the company's annual general meeting next month.
