asked the Minister for Agriculture whether he has received a request for a licence from the Bandon Co-operative Society to build a creamery in Ahidhill district, County Cork; and, if so, if he is prepared to sanction the proposal.
- County Cork Creamery.
Mr. Walsh
I received an application from the Bandon Co-operative Agricultural and Dairy Society, Limited, for a licence under the Creamery Act, 1928, to establish a cream-separating station in the Aghyohil-Kilnameela district of County Cork, but I have refused the application as I am satisfied that the needs of the farmers in the district are being adequately served by a number of neighbouring cream-separating stations.
