asked the Minister forAgriculture if he will state how many wholesalers are distributing New Zealand butter in the Dublin area and from what date.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - New Zealand Butter.
Mr. Walsh
Since the full-scale distribution of imported butter in the Dublin area was discontinued in July last, one wholesaler has continued to purchase imported butter regularly each week from the Butter Marketing Committee.
Could the Minister say is this wholesaler Mr. Joseph Gallagher and if so, is the fact that he is the only one who has to sell this butter for the past week a reprisal because of the fact that he will not join the ring?
Mr. Walsh
The Deputy has mentioned a name. I have mentioned no name.
I have asked if it is Mr. Gallagher.
Mr. Walsh
No, it is not Mr. Gallagher.
