asked the Minister for Agriculture whether he is aware that the bonus or bounty due to the certified seed potato growers in County Galway for last year's crop has not yet been paid; and, if so, if he will state (a) the amount of the bounty per ton; (b) when it is expected payment will be made to the growers.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Bounty for Potato Growers.
I am aware that the position is as stated by the Deputy. I understand that the trading accounts for exports of seed potatoes during 1949-50 season have not been completed and until this is done it will not be possible for the Irish Potato Marketing Association to state the amount or date of the additional payment.
