IRISH INDUSTRY.
TO BE SELF-CONTAINED, AN AMBITIOUS programme. (United Press Association—Copyright). DUBLIN, January 23. Mr Sean Lemass (Minister of Industry and Commerce), outlining the Government’s industrial programme for 1934, said it was hoped that within a year the country’s full requirements of cotton piecegoods would be woven from yarn-spun in the Free State. It was hoped, said Mr Lemass, to reestablish the glass industry a-t Water, ford and the manufacture of pottery, cutlery and rubber goods elsewhere. The Government was contemplating the experimental production of alcohol from potatoes- and the establishment of refineries for the extraction of petrol and other products from crude oil, thus securing independence from foreign fuel sources.
