asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state what steps are being taken to ensure a proportionate allocation of potatoes to Dublin retailers who formerly were not regular customers of any wholesaler, but bought direct from the country; and if he will consider the desirability of giving such retailers representation on the Dublin Potatoes Marketing Board.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Potato Allocation for Dublin.
The Dublin and District Potato Committee was requested to give special consideration to the cases mentioned by the Deputy, and I am informed that arrangements have been made by the committee for an allocation on an equitable basis of potatoes to the persons concerned. I do not consider it necessary that such persons should have special representation on the committee.
