Vol. 89 No. 13

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Turf Production in Laoighis.

asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health to state the approximate cost per ton for turf produced and clamped on roadsides by the county surveyor for the Laoighis County Council during the year ended December, 1942; if he will also state the average price per ton received for turf sold during the same period to (1) public institutions, and (2) others.

The approximate cost of 1942 turf produced by the county council in Laoighis is 42/- a ton on the road-side. As regards the latter part of the question the price charged in each case was 42/- a ton, plus 6/6 a ton extra where loading and delivery were effected at the request of the purchaser.

Is 6/6 supposed to be the terminal charge for the cartage?

I am only saying that it was a loading and delivery charge, and that it was effected at the request of the purchaser.
