asked the Minister for Agriculture if he is aware that the Grange, Rosegreen and Cashel Dairies were closed down on the 16th June, 1931; and whether, in view of the hardship on suppliers, who are obliged as a result to go considerable distances to outlying creameries, he will state if and when it is intended to reopen these dairies.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Closing of Co. Tipperary Creameries.
I understand that the Grange, Rosegreen and Cashel Creameries have been kept open by the co-operative society to whom they were transferred, and that milk suppliers who are going considerable distances to outlying creameries can recommence at any time sending their supplies to these creameries.
Is the Minister aware that it is the manager of Ballyduff creamery who closed down these creameries?
I know no more than is given to me here in the answer—that the Grange, Rosegreen and Cashel Creameries have been kept open by the co-operative society to whom they were transferred.
The creameries are not open at present.
I am informed that the milk suppliers who are going considerable distances to outlying creameries can recommence at any time sending their supplies to these creameries.
I will raise this matter on the Adjournment.
