Vol. 30 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Knocklong Creamery Statistics.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state in respect of Knocklong Creamery and Condensed Milk Factory and each of its auxiliaries for the financial year ended March 31st, 1928, (a) the quantity of whole milk purchased and the average price paid therefor; (b) the quantity of separated milk purchased for condensing, and the average price paid therefor; (c) the quantity and value of butter and cream produced; (d) the quantity and value of condensed milk produced; (e) the total amount of working expenses; (f) the total amount of capital expenditure; (g) the amount charged for depreciation of premises, plant and machinery; (h) the gross profit, and (i) the net profit earned during the year.

Mr. Hogan

Some of the information necessary to furnish replies to the various points in the Deputy's question will have to be obtained from the liquidators of the Condensed Milk Company of Ireland (1924) Limited. The liquidators are at the moment engaged in the details of the winding-up of that firm, of which the Knocklong Creamery forms part. It will not be possible to obtain material for replies for some two or three weeks, and I would be glad, therefore, if the Deputy would defer his question.
