94 Mr. Mulvihill asked the Minister for Finance if he intends to recoup the money that has been paid to Cork dockyard in grants, in view of the fact that it appears that the company cannot deliver on any of the jobs that were promised at the time of sale; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Unfortunately, I am not in a position to make a statement on this particular matter as the payment of grants by the industrial development agencies is an issue which does not fall directly within the responsibilities of my Department.
