asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state why "Food Production" meetings addressed by him this year are not open to the public and representatives of the Press as heretofore.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Food Production Meetings.
Presumably, the Deputy is referring to the conferences I held with representatives of county committees of agriculture. These were not public meetings and were not intended as such. On this subject, I would refer the Deputy to the statement issued by me to the public Press, which appeared in the daily newspapers on the 15th March.
