Mr. Corish: asked the Minister for Supplies if he will state if a special ration of tea and sugar will be available during the coming season for men engaged in net fishing on the River Slaney.
Minister for Supplies (Mr. Lemass):
For the reasons given in reply to a question asked by the Deputy on the 9th May, 1944, it is not proposed to make any special allowances of tea and sugar available to the men in question.
[1379]Mr. Corish: Is the Minister aware that allowances of extra tea and sugar were given in the year before last and will the Minister state why there is a change? Is the Minister also aware that these fishermen are away from home from early morning till late at night and, in these circumstances, will he reconsider his decision?
Mr. Lemass:
There is no change in the regulations this year as compared to last year.
