Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Government and Foreign Industrialists
I have indicated to some applicants that when the Control of Manufactures Bill, 1932, becomes law it is unlikely that their application for a licence under the provisions of that Act would meet with ...
I am afraid I do not follow the question. It is quite obvious——
It is quite obviously not binding in law.
The question I have answered relates to the case of firms where I indicated that the application for a licence would not meet with favourable consideration. No question of conditions arose.
No, in no case that I can recollect.
No.
I am prepared to consider in what form a general statement could be given to the House in respect of the operations of the new Control of Manufactures Bill when it becomes law. But I do not think it ...
The question I have answered relates to permits which were not given.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Government Approval of Industrial Schemes.
I have indicated to certain applicants for a licence under the provisions of the Control of Manufactures Bill, 1932, that in due course I would be prepared to grant a licence under the provisions of t...
The Control of Manufactures Bill has not become law. A number of firms which have approached the Department have been informed in general terms of the nature of the conditions that will be likely to ...
No.
The Deputy's information is incorrect.
I did not say that.
I am afraid that I cannot follow the question. The House has been given an indication of the general nature of the considerations that are likely to be taken into account in relation to any applicati...
I would say that the only conditions which would be contained in respect of the application would be conditions of this kind:— first, that wherever practicable citizens of the Saorstát should be empl...
Not at this stage.
When that section of the Bill is under discussion I will be prepared to make a statement indicating in general terms the manner in which it is proposed to administer the powers conferred.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Restrictive Legislation on Alien Business Abroad.
Copies of the numerous enactments referred to are not available for filing in the library. If the Deputy desires I can supply him with a list giving the dates of the principal laws which govern the ...
The statements were based on the official text or authorised translation. There are very few countries which have a definite commercial code, and the necessary references would have to be stated in a...
The House has got it.
I have undertaken, if the Deputy desires it, to supply a list of the particular enactments in the countries referred to.
That would be very involved.
In very few countries is there a definite code dealing with these matters, and the references would have to be sought in a very large number of enactments.
Yes.
I shall see what sort of a statement I can table.
No.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Clay Pipe Industry.
According to the Census of Production 1929 there were three establishments in the Saorstát engaged in the manufacture of clay tobacco pipes, the average number of persons employed was 11, excluding th...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Imports of Superphosphates.
The following table shows the quantity and value of imports of superphosphates into Saorstát Eireann in each of the years 1929, 1930 and 1931, and in the four months January to April, 1929, 1930, 1931...
Order of Business.
The week after next.
Public Business. - Electricity (Supply) (Amendment) Bill, 1932.—First Stage.
To-morrow.
Public Business. - Trade Loans (Guarantee) (Amendment) Bill, 1932—Second Stage.
I move: “That the Bill be now read a Second Time.” This Bill is in the usual form. It is designed to continue the Trade Loans (Guarantee) Act, 1924, for another period of twelve months. From variou...
I would not like to say that now. Quite a variety of suggestions were received, some good and some bad.
Not necessarily.
The total amount guaranteed under the Act was £320,340. The total of the sums issued out of the Central Fund in respect of these guarantees was £215,900 16s. 6d. In respect of applications which had...
Apparently that is what the Commissioners contemplate. They are examining their position in the light of the new situation. I do not think the Commissioners will abandon the idea of harbour develop...
I know of no recent application from any firms which previously received a guarantee. Some applications have been received from firms proposing to engage in the tariffed industries, but what particul...
One was for £8,500; another for £6,000; and another for £23,000.
Some applications were received and reached the stage of being rejected.
None—at least, none to my knowledge. It is quite possible that some of the applications which were summarily rejected had been summarily rejected before. I have not searched the files to find out wh...
I do not think there were.
It is true that very long periods have elapsed between the making of applications and the announcement of the Government's decision in respect to them. I have been considering whether within the fra...
I think the Deputy knows that there were cases where there were considerable delays.
Public Business. - Finance (Customs Duties) (No. 2) Bill, 1932—Fifth Stage.
I move that the Bill do now pass. Question put and agreed.
Additional Financial Motions by the Minister for Finance. - Finance Bill, 1932—Committee.
I would like to describe, if I could, the pleasure which I feel in listening to Deputy McGilligan explaining why his Party lost the election. For ten years I had the obligation of explaining why the P...
The point raised in amendment 14 was discussed at considerable length on the Second Reading and it is not necessary to repeat the arguments which were then advanced. It is thought that there is good r...
The Deputy knows quite well that in practice neither Minister will positively interfere at all, that the matters will be brought to the final stage by the officers of the Department. The Deputy know...
If there is abuse there is always an opportunity for any member of the Dáil to have the matter ventilated by Parliamentary question, by a question on the adjournment, or by motion in Private Members' ...
A good case might be made for the amendment, and in other circumstances it might be quite possible to consider it, but it is quite obvious that the cost would be very considerable and that must be tak...
There is a strong case for confining the section to firms engaged in manufacturing enterprises, but it is practically impossible to do so. To limit it to manufacturing enterprises only would involve ...
The Deputy may take it that that was considered, but very elaborate provisions would have to be made to carry out the intention and avoid evasion. If on reconsideration a simpler method could have be...
I do not think there are any companies formed for the purchase and sale of imported drapery, only, but on the other hand, companies are formed in this country particularly for the purpose of importing...
The Deputy said that firms engaged in the importation of coal were being treated exceptionally. Those are there in pursuance of a sort of general principle. The other exclusions are public utility co...
I gathered from the Deputy's remarks that this amendment is another solution of the railway problem.
If it is put forward in that spirit, I am afraid it is not acceptable as such. The question of transport services generally is under consideration and definite proposals will have to be submitted to ...
I have discussed the matter with the Minister for Finance. We are impressed by the Deputy's arguments and we agree to accept the amendment.
