asked the Minister for Agriculture what rate per lb. is being levied on hens to subsidise the price of chickens exported through Eggsports, Limited.

I would refer the Deputy to my reply to Deputy Lehane on 11th March, 1953. The average price being obtained for our hens on the export market, as shown in the most recent returns furnished to my Department by Messrs. Eggsports, Limited, is 4½d. per lb. more than the authorised export price.
