I move:—
That leave be given by the Dáil to introduce the following Supplementary Estimate for the service of the year ending on 31st day of March, 1927, viz., Vote No. 52 (Department of Agriculture).
The purpose of this Supplementary Estimate is to enable the Minister for Lands and Agriculture to acquire the assets of the Condensed Milk Company of Ireland and the Newmarket Dairy Company. This proposal is the first step in a scheme for putting the dairy industry in this country in a condition to meet the competition with which it is faced.
