asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the brand names of Irish biscuit manufacturers.

I assume that what the Deputy has in mind is the brand names of biscuits manufactured in this country. A full list of such names is not readily available to me.

Can the Parliamentary Secretary indicate the manufacturing brand names?

I do not grasp the distinction between brand names and the manufacturing brand names. In any event, there is not available to me a list of all the brand names. The Deputy will appreciate that, of their nature, brand names can change quickly.

The question as it appears here seems to be different from the question I submitted. I asked whether, in addition to Jacobs and Bolands, there are other manufacturers.

I have no knowledge of any change in the Deputy's question, which I am answering on the basis of the form in which it appears here.

Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that there are two manufacturers of biscuits here—Jacobs and Bolands?

Yes.

But is he aware that Bolands biscuits on sale in Dublin are made in Great Britain and imported by the Irish biscuit manufacturers? In view of the "Buy Irish" campaign, are the Government concerned about the identity of Irish-made products? Can the Parliamentary Secretary indicate why Bolands biscuits are manufactured in Great Britain and imported into Ireland when we have a biscuit manufacturing firm worried about the importation of foreign biscuits?

I have noted the Deputy's statement and I will have the matter referred to investigated. I will then communicate with the Deputy.

Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that Bolands biscuits are on sale in Dublin which are manufactured in Great Britain?

I have noted the Deputy's statement and I will have the matter investigated.

The Parliamentary Secretary is not aware of the situation. In view of the confusion to Irish housewives who are anxious to buy Irish goods will the Parliamentary Secretary have this matter rectified as soon as possible?

The matter will be investigated.
