Vol. 89 No. 3

Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - Extra Sugar Supplies for Infants.

Mr. P.J. Fogarty

asked the Minister for Supplies if he is prepared to grant extra sugar supplies to mothers with babies of five years of age and under.

Mr. Lemass

The present sugar supply position does not permit of any further concessions being made at present, and I am, therefore, unable to grant extra sugar supplies to mothers with babies under five years of age as suggested by the Deputy.
