asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he will make a statement on the lengthy delay which arose in the publication of the 1975 report by Bord Fáilte.

Cavan): I understand from Bord Fáilte that the delay in the publication of the report for 1975 was due to the fact that the accounts, which are published jointly with the report, were for the first time processed by computer. Some unexpected initial difficulties were encountered and these delayed the completion of the accounts. Bord Fáilte anticipate that the computer system, which is now operating smoothly, will expedite the processing of the accounts in future years.
