asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state when he intends to give a subsidy to farmers for fertilisers.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Fertilisers Subsidy.
Mr. Walsh
I have not yet had an opportunity of going closely into the matter, and I am not therefore in a position to state when, if ever, a subsidy will be given to farmers for fertilisers. It will nevertheless be clear to the Deputy that as no provision has been made in the Estimates for such a subsidy it is very unlikely that any can be paid this year.
