asked the Taoiseach if he will state the number of commissions which were set up by the Government since 1922 to inquire into masters directly or indirectly affecting the agricultural industry, including agricultural policy, derating, drainage, credit, etc., and the date upon which these commissions reported; or, where the commissions have not yet reported, the approximate anticipated date of their report.

The reply is in the form of a tabular statement which, with the Deputy's permission, I shall have circulated, in the ordinary way, in the Official Report.
