Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Agricultural Consultative Council.
The Agricultural Production Consultative Council, constituted in 1939 by an Order made pursuant to Section 11 of the Agriculture Act, 1931, is still in existence. This council has not met for some years, but I have under consideration proposals for reconstituting it with a view to holding further meetings.
Mr. O'Higgins
Is the Minister aware that the only worthwhile advicesuch a council could now give to him would be to resign and go to the country?
Mr. Walsh
What is happening to the Deputy to-day, I wonder?
