Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Compensation to Employees of Pigeon House Fort.

Peadar S. O Dubhghaill asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether it is his intention to introduce proposals for legislation to amend the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1927, with a view to providing for or granting compensation to the employees of the Electricity Supply Station, Pigeon House Fort, Dublin, who were discharged as a result of the taking over of this station under the Electricity Supply Board; and, if so, if he will state when such proposals for legislation will be introduced.

Mr. McGilligan: I hope to introduce a Bill dealing with this matter within the next three weeks.

Mr. D. Bourke: Will the men who were employed at the Limerick Power House be taken into consideration?

Mr. McGilligan: This only has regard to the Dublin station. Anything else is a new question.

Mr. Bourke: I hope Limerick will be remembered also.
