39.
There is already a milk powder factory in Tipperary town, which provides seasonal employment for about 40 people. Negotiations for the purchase by the local co-operative societies of this factory and the other interests of the Dairy Disposal Company in the Tipperary area have taken place between the societies and the company and I understand that, while provisional agreement was reached, further studies in the matter are now being carried out on behalf of the co-operative societies.
