asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether representations have been made to him that this year for the first time West of Ireland harvesters returning from England were required to pay in addition to their regular fares a special levy for the carriage of their personal luggage; whether he is aware that this additional charge is regarded by these poor men as being unfair and unjustified, and whether he is in a position to take any action arising out of the representations referred to.
