Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Positions in Botanic Gardens.
About a different matter entirely.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Transfer and Dismissal of Carpenters-in-Charge.
It is not true.
Anyhow, it is a deliberate lie.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cattle Exports to Continent.
As regards the first and second parts of the question, exports of cattle to continental countries are arranged seasonally through the diplomatic or consular representatives in Ireland of the countries...
I understand the Deputy is not satisfied to let it stand, as he has asked me for time in which to discuss this matter later.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Supplies of Potash.
Continuous efforts have been made by my Department and the other Departments concerned to secure supplies of potash. As a result:— (a) 2,300 tons of 60 per cent. potash have been received from French...

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Wheat Growing in North Meath.
I am aware that in County Meath and in other counties where the maximum wheat quota applies there are lands which are not very suitable for the growing of wheat. It would not, however, be practicable...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Milk Prices to Creameries.
A preliminary survey of milk supplies received by creameries in 1946 shows that there has been a reduction of approximately 6 per cent. as compared with 1945, but supplies in 1946 were virtually the s...
If the Deputy reads my reply, he will find that I have given him to understand that the examination of this whole matter which is provided for in the White Paper is taking place and that is, of course...
Order of Business.
I would not be available.
