asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state the percentage of (a) flake meal, and (b) oatmeal which a barrel of average oats yields.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Oats Yield per Barrel.
Mr. Walsh
I am advised that the average yields are 50 per cent. flake meal and 57 per cent. oatmeal.
Did the Minister hear the interjection by the Minister for Industry and Commerce to-day when he said that it would take 16 stones of oats to produce eight stones of oatmeal?
I said that it would take two barrels to make one.
It shows that the Minister for Industry and Commerce did not look at the questions to the Minister for Agriculture to-day.
