§ Mr. F. MEEHANasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has received a report as to the suitability of the buildings, machinery, and water-power at Dromahair, county Leitrim, now available for munition making; and whether the hon. Member for the Loughborough Division of Leicestershire will be asked to report on the matter before the buildings are disposed of?
§ Dr. ADDISONI must refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Minister of Munitions to a similar question put by him on 9th March, when it was stated that inquiries conducted by the Ministry's representatives in Ireland showed that there was no machinery available at Dromahair of a nature suitable for the manufacture of munitions. Further inquiries that have recently been made show that the position is unchanged. In the absence of suitable machinery it is not proposed to utilise the buildings referred to in the question.
