EIRE’S CONCERN OVER TIGHT BLOCKADE
Large Proportion Of Her Shipping Sunk
DUBLIN, February 18.
The Minister of Commerce, Mr. Sean McEutee, in a speech, said that Eire was fts tightly and effectively blockaded as if it was a belligerent country. From the few ships on the Eireann Register nine had been sunk, some o£ them in Eireann territorial waters. Even if Eire art the outbreak of the war had possessed an adequate mercantile fleet over half of it would probably have since been sunk. Eire henceforth, said the Minister, must .be prepared to face .conditions likely to affect her productive industry. There might be a shortage of basic requirements and also other raw materials.
