asked the Minister for Agriculture if with a view to promoting the more extensive cultivation of potatoes as a feeding stuff for live stock he is prepared to grant a subsidy on every acre of potatoes grown during the coming year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Subsidy on Potatoes.
I am not prepared to arrange for the granting of a subsidy, as suggested, for the growing of potatoes.

They are shovelling the potatoes into the alcohol factories now.
We want alcohol also.
