Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Credit Facilities for Farmers.

asked the Minister for Agriculture whether during his Danishtour he inquired into terms on which credit is made available to Danish farmers and whether he proposes to provide similar facilities here.

While in Denmark recently I made some inquiries into this subject. The arrangements for credit existing there hinge largely on the co-operative structure of Danish farming organisation. Having regard to this and other differences in the circumstances between the two countries, I think the Danish credit arrangements could scarcely be transplanted here, where the conditions are so different.
