asked the Minister for Agriculture whether he is aware that the bounty usually paid to growers of certified seed potatoes in North Galway has not been paid for last year's crop, and, if so, whether he will state (a) what the amount of the bounty will be, and (b) when it is likely to be paid to the growers.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Bounty for Seed Potato Growers.
