The information requested by the Deputy in so far as the years 1969 to 1977 are concerned is already available in the Annual Report and Accounts of An Foras Tionscail for the years prior to 31 March 1970 and in the relevant Annual Reports of the Industrial Development Authority for the period 1 April 1970 to 31 December 1977. All of these reports have been placed before the Houses of the Oireachtas and were made available in the Dáil Library. Information in relation to payments in 1978 will be published later this year in the Industrial Development Authority's Annual Report for 1978.
