Mr. Dillon: Information on James Matthew Dillon  Zoom on James Matthew Dillon  asked the Minister for Supplies whether any supplies of material for the making of salmon-fishing nets will be forthcoming; and, if so, whether he will say on what basis it is proposed to distribute them to the salmon fisheries.

Mr. Lemass: Information on Seán F. Lemass  Zoom on Seán F. Lemass  As regards supplies of net-making material, I would refer the Deputy to the reply which I gave on the 3rd instant to a similar question.
