asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state whether he intends to make a creamery stop at Carrigeen, Headford, County Kerry, where 20 new suppliers, who live three miles from the nearest creamery, are awaiting facilities.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Provision of Creamery Stops.
The Dairy Disposal Company have, at my request, made a survey of the Headford area of County Kerry and have informed me that it would not be practicable for them to arrange for a travelling creamery stop at Carrigeen as suggested. This area is within three miles of the company's cream-separating station at Bealnadeega and just over three and a half miles from their separating station at Clohane. A new stop there would attract only about 12 new milk suppliers. I would suggest that these farmers should co-operate in making arrangements for the conveyance of their combined milk supplies to the nearest separating station, as is at present being done by farmers in many other areas.
