asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state why is there such a large discrepancy in the prices paid for pigs in Dublin and in County Donegal.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Pig Prices in Dublin and Donegal.
My information does not confirm that there is an unduly large discrepancy between the prices paid for pigs in Dublin and in County Donegal. Such discrepancy as exists at present is not abnormal and arises mainly from the relative local incidence of supply and demand.
The prices in other parts of the country besides Donegal are also normally somewhat lower than in Dublin.
