You should produce the figures.More Button

The people of Monaghan thought so, anyway.More Button

I do not wish to take up the time of the House, but, like Deputy Davin and other Deputies, I should like to say that there is a good deal of disappointment down the country at this Budget. Undoubtedl...More Button

I am strictly honest.More Button

Deputy Corry argued that the farmers were getting 16/- a barrel for their barley. I asked him at whose expense, but he would not reply. Of course, I know it does not make any difference to Deputy Co...More Button

I am not in favour of subsidies on anything. I would much prefer to see the Administration carried out as it was in the past, so that the people might have a better opportunity of realising the burde...More Button

I was not sent here to speak for myself. I am here to speak for the majority of the people in West Cork who elected me. If I believe in a certain thing I will express my views on it, and am prepared...More Button

Probably it is just as well. I ask the Minister to take responsibility now and say that the Government are prepared to go into the question of the cost of feeding stuffs—to do something that will hel...More Button

Will Deputy Corry agree that milch cows give more employment than tillage?More Button

Take County Limerick and County Wexford. One is a tillage county and the other is a grass county. If the Deputy refers to the statistics, he will find that more employment is given in County Limeric...More Button

Reference has been made to employment on the land. I had a worker with me from Athy within the last week. He worked with me in 1931 for 16 or 18 weeks. He came up looking for a job on the Liffey sc...More Button

It is a matter of Government policy.More Button

We shall not quarrel about it, in any event.More Button

Beidh lá eile againn, is docha. Deputy Corry spoke about a tillage policy. We were always in favour of a tillage policy but we were never in favour of a policy of subsidising one farmer at the expen...More Button

There is no overproduction in this country with regard to cereals, because we are importing more than we consume. Will the Deputy deny that? I should like to hear an intelligent remark from the Depu...More Button

I shall quote Deputy Corry in reply to that. Deputy Corry stated that, from 1924 to 1929, in the British market, the price of what we exported came down by £13,000,000. Why did it come down? Was it ...More Button

Deputy Corry criticised the last Government. We never stood for anything but the acceptance of the world market price. Even the present Minister for Agriculture maintains that the export price to Br...More Button

I am as happy as a lark here and I can do a lot of useful work.More Button

I have been telling it. Government policy has been discussed and I have a right to reply. I could stay talking for the next week or fortnight, and I could bring up about 100 Official Reports and keep...More Button

What is the difference? You were advocating an allowance to the farmers.More Button

I am not an expert on English—in fact, I know the Irish language better than the English—but I do not think there is any difference between one and the other. I should like to quote Deputy Davin befo...More Button

Was it that report that converted you?More Button

What about those promises you made them? Was it not because they swallowed your pill?More Button

They did not come out of it as well as the Minister did.More Button

What about all the corruption—what about all the licences the Government gave them?More Button

We have asked him to set up a commission to report on the position of the farmers. The Minister would get information direct from that commission.More Button
