asked the Minister for Industry, Commerce and Tourism the grants that have been made available to a factory (details supplied) in County Donegal; the dates on which they were made; and whether there is an application at present for a grant.

I am informed by the IDA that, during the period 1959 to 1979, inclusive, grants totalling £109,865 were approved by the IDA for the firm and that, of this amount, £95,600 has so far been paid. The information sought in the final part of the question is confidential as between the firm and the IDA.
