asked the Minister for Agriculture if he is aware of the disparity in wages paid to filleters by An Bord Iascaigh Mhara at Killybegs and Dublin inasmuch as the former are paid only £2 10s. per week and the latter receive £6 15s. per week; and, if so, if he will take immediate steps to have the position remedied.
