Vol. 89 No. 13

Committee on Finance. - Creameries (Acquisition) Bill, 1943—Money Resolution.

I move:—

That it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas of any expenses incurred in the administration of any Act of the present session to enable the Minister for Agriculture to require the sale of certain creamery premises and chattels thereon to the Dairy Disposals Company, Limited, and to provide for certain other matters connected with the matters aforesaid.

I oppose this Resolution, which provides for the financial operation of this measure. The Bill contains no provision whatever for the very large number of employees whose fate is in question arising out of it. The Minister has given no indication of what his proposals are in connection with them. He has been, as usual, delightfully vague on this question. I am old enough to remember some of the derelicts who were left here and there throughout the country as a result of a previous measure of this kind, and, thinking of their hard cases, I oppose this Resolution because of the absence from the Bill of any indication that provision will be made for dealing with the employees who will be rendered redundant.
