Mostek expansion promises

Summary

Flynn said the Minister for Communications had circulated claims of a £20 million investment and 500 additional jobs at Mostek, and accused him of misleading constituents. Collins disclaimed responsibility, and the Chair moved to the next question.

Is the Minister aware that his colleague, the Minister for Communications, sent circulars around that area before Christmas, saying that there would be an expansion of work in this factory with a possible investment of £20 million and 500 extra jobs?

That is a separate question. I am calling the next question.

Edward Collins Mr. E. Collins Fine Gael

I am not responsible for the actions of the Minister for Communications.

Comment on this

Obviously this Minister is not, but the Minister for Communications has been misleading his constituents in the matter.

Comment on this
Edward Collins Mr. E. Collins Fine Gael

That is an accusation against the Minister for Communications. Is the Chair allowing it?

Comment on this

The Minister should not press that point since there were allegations made against himself earlier.

They were not addressed to me.
