As production increases, their additional supplies of milk could be economically handled at Cratloe along with the supplies from County Clare as a whole. In my statement I pointed out that existing p...
I want to say that it is not a planted question.
It sets out the position in relation to the Lansdowne plant.

I am so aware.

The ceiling price payable for reactors is kept under continuous review in my Department.
The Deputy must realise that the price of reactors has been increased considerably in recent years. When the Department see that there is a need for a further increase, steps will be taken to impleme...
I would point out that the price paid is not based on the replacement cost but on the market value of the animal.

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Economics Development Programmes.
The agricultural content of the Fourth Programme will relate mainly to the changes necessary to adapt our agricultural policy to the common policies of the EEC and in this context close consultation h...
The production of a programme such as this is of the utmost importance. Because of our entry to the EEC and the changes that will result from that, it is necessary to have consultations not only with...
The publication of the programme is a matter for the Department of Finance. I am merely indicating to the Deputy some of the difficulties involved in drawing up a programme of this nature.
We wish to ensure that there will be a proper programme.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Beef Cattle Incentive Scheme.

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Foyle Fisheries Commission.
