Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Manufacture of Kelp.
Previous experience of the cost of harvesting seaweed and converting it into kelp for the manufacture of iodine showed that the by-product, kelp potash, could be made available at an economic price fo...
It is too dear.
It is being looked into and will be further looked into. I think the Deputy will realise that, if it is possible to grow a root crop for this year without potash, it will be possible for seven or eig...
You do not leave it fallow. You put other crops in, and then let it go back to grass again.
Potash is not necessary for cereal crops?
Not essential.
No, I think the Deputy is a long way from what I said.
There was a good price for iodine then.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Foot and Mouth Disease.
In the Dublin morning papers and the Cork Examiner of the 21st and 22nd February and the Sunday Independent of the 23rd February a special display notice appeared in which I impressed upon stock owner...
Hunting and coursing have been prohibited in the 11 counties which have been scheduled. It is not proposed to take any general action in regard to racing under the rules or coursing held on enclosed ...
Yes.
Yes.
I was about to ask for an opportunity to make a statement in connection with the foot-and-mouth disease on the Supplementary Estimate. I think it better to reserve what I have to say until then. The ...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Provision of Seeds.
As supplies of root seeds are still being imported, it is not possible to state the total quantity of such seeds that will be available for the coming season. In spite of all the efforts made to obta...
I understand that root and vegetable seeds can be grown in all districts throughout the country and that seedsmen are making arrangements for the production of seeds for sowing in 1942. I think, howe...
It will do nothing for us this year.
As far as we could do it, a number of the seedsmen in the country have been encouraged to do that. They are doing a certain amount. It is possible, however, that they will not produce enough for som...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tillage on Westmeath Lands.
The ownership of these lands, which comprise a very small proportion of arable, has changed hands twice within recent weeks and some difficulty has been experienced in determining on whom the obligat...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Distribution of Artificial Manures.
Retail distributors of fertilisers have been advised by the manufacturers that available supplies of superphosphate and of compound manures should, as far as possible, be reserved for tillage crops. ...
Generally, the retailers, as far as I can find out, have distributed these manures in a reasonably fair way. Complaints have been made. Some of them have been investigated. If it is found that retail...
I do not think that is so.
I am not so sure that the Deputy is right in that.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Assisting Necessitous Plotholders.
Grants under the Acquisition of Land (Allotments) (Amendment) Act, 1934, are restricted to recoupment to a local authority or an approved association of the cost of providing, for unemployed persons, ...
That is a separate question.
Order of Business.
That is correct.
Supplementary and Additional Estimates—Leave to Introduce.
I move:— That leave be given by the Dáil to introduce the following Supplementary and Additional Estimates for the services of the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1941, namely:— Votes Nos.:— 30 ...
Committee on Finance. - Vote 30—Agriculture.
I move:— Go ndeontar suim bhreise ná raghaidh thar £303,741 chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1941, chun Tuarastail agus Costa...
That is one of the things we cannot say definitely. There are various theories, but I cannot say definitely. On 9th February, the S.S. “Kilkenny” left Dublin for Birkenhead with 753 animals. On 11th...
It is being cleared.
It is being cleared. It may not be completely cleared yet.
The Commissioner of Police has employed Local Security Force men; I do not know what their politics are.
That is quite easily explained.
No.
I said the opposite.
I said that I would not interfere with their advice.
I would take their advice.
If in their opinion it was necessary to do so.
They were not brought.
The outbreak in Dublin was after Naas fair.
How could the Department know when the disease had not occurred?
They are wrong about the dates.
What is your purpose then?
You did your best.
The Deputy got his information from a circular letter. I got the same thing from three or four Deputies.
You got your information from the same source. There is not a word of truth in it.
Yes, several things.
The Deputy does not agree with the majority, then.
The majority are right.
It is a criminal offence already.
To walk on any person's land.
Yes. The Deputy should read the orders made.
Everybody is obeying the order, probably.
They did not catch anybody contravening the order.
