Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Disorder in Dublin.
Is that the supplementary question?
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Licences for Tobacco Growing.
The Revenue Commissioners have received numerous applications for licences to grow tobacco during the coming season. In each case they have provisionally approved the growing of tobacco on the area ...
Almost immediately on receipt.
The Deputy must have been misinformed.
If the Deputy will give me particulars of instances in which applications for licences have been rejected I will be glad to give him information about such cases.
Well, it is possible that the applicant may not have made application within sufficient time to enable the Commissioners to deal with it.
I am not prepared to say. The applicants were asked to make their applications before the 1st March. Until that date arrives and until we know how many applications are received, we will not be able...
As a matter of fact, the 1st of March is not the sowing date for tobacco.
It is sufficiently later to enable applicants who have got their licences to proceed with the sowing in time.
I am aware that people just as fully acquainted with tobacco growing have informed me that the date is much later than the 1st March.
That is not true.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Appointment of Park Ranger of War Memorial Park.
The answer is in the negative.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Area of Tobacco Crop.
It may be necessary. I cannot say.
No, unless it is absolutely necessary.
It would not be a gold mine if everybody grew it. It may be necessary to limit the area grown by any one person. In that case certain people who grew fairly large areas last year must be reduced.
On both.
Supplementary Estimates.
The Minister for Industry and Commerce is rather anxious that the Supplementary Estimate No. 56, which is for the sum of £10 to make the provision required for the setting up of a research council and...
It will be circulated this evening. I have told the Deputy what the purpose is.
I am sorry that the Deputy should be giving us such an example of the helpful opposition which we were promised about two years ago, but I do suggest that there is nothing in the point which he is mak...
I will give the details now. I have a draft copy of the Estimate in my hand. For the establishment of an industrial research council: salaries, wages and allowances, £10; travelling expenses, £50; i...
For the establishment of an experimental installation to manufacture industrial alcohol, the amount asked for in the Supplementary Estimate will be £8,000, but there is no further information given on...
On that, I am afraid the Deputy will have to wait until he hears the Minister for Industry and Commerce. Quite obviously, he is very anxious to have all this information, and I think he ought to have...
But we have already indicated—last year and in several statements made recently—that the Government contemplate establishing an installation of this kind. That is all the information we can give the ...
I would like if the Deputy would waive his objection, because the Minister asked me particularly to press this and I am rather at a disadvantage. I would say Friday, if that would meet the convenienc...
In Committee on Finance. - Vote 28—Universities and Colleges.
I move:— Go ndeontar suim Bhreise ná raghaidh thar £2,338 chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh Márta, 1934, chun Deontaisí fen Irish Universiti...
I have no reason to think, or I have had no representations from the University authorities, that they do not.
Yes.
No. I think the Deputy is incorrect in that assumption.
For this year.
I have said nothing of the sort. The full implementation will be made clear when the Bill is introduced shortly.
As a matter of fact it will provide something more than that.
We have met our full commitments under the undertaking given.
It is the foundation of the Bill.
I shall tell the Deputy that when the Bill is introduced.
I do not think it is relevant.
It does not fall short.
I have already indicated that we have fulfilled all our commitments under the undertaking I have referred to. We have not received any representations from the College authorities that we have not so...
In Committee on Finance. - Vote No. 69—Relief Schemes.
I move:— Go ndeontar suim Bhreise ná raghaidh thar £50,000 chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh Márta, 1934, chun Síntiúisí i gcóir Fóirithine ...
At Christmas time. The remittances were smaller at Christmas than at the previous Christmas.
Since the financial crisis arose in America early last year.
I am not going to discuss whether there has or has not been an improvement in American conditions but at any rate there is no doubt that the falling off in remittances is entirely due to the financia...
Written Answers. - Robe Drainage Scheme.
The assents and dissents received from the occupiers of lands affected by the River Robe Drainage Scheme are being examined by the Commissioners of Public Works. It has been found necessary to reissu...
