‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Agricultural Statistics. Import Substitution in Farm Machinery
Summary
Kirk asked about exploring import substitution; the Chair said policy questions must be directed to the responsible Minister on another occasion.
What steps do the Government intend to take to explore the possibility of import substitution in this area?
Comment on this
The Deputy will have to be guided by Standing Orders, as is the Chair. These questions are answered by the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach because the Taoiseach is in charge of the Central Statistics Office. There may be various other Minister responsible for the policy which the Deputy wishes to question and he will have to find another occasion to do so.
