I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No 436 on 9 June 2009 and to Question No 800 on 3 November 2009. In the first instance, it should be noted that my Department is not responsible for the development of the blacksmithing industry in Ireland. Furthermore, I have been advised by Údarás na Gaeltachta that there have been no further developments in the matters referred to by the Deputy.
