§ Mr. BYRNEasked the Minister of Munitions if he will state when it is proposed to place further orders for munitions in Dublin workshops; and if he is aware that many engineering firms are prepared to accept and complete orders at the shortest possible notice?
Mr. PRIMROSEI am aware of the extent to which Dublin firms are prepared to execute orders for munitions. Continuation orders for shell and shell components are being placed in Dublin in all cases in which the price and conditions of the continuation contract are acceptable to the contractor and where a demand for the munitions in question continues.
