Vol. 146 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Gaeltacht Glasshouse Scheme.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if the heating tests carried out in the selected tomato houses in the Cloghaneely Gaeltacht have proved satisfactory, and if it is the intention of his Department to install heating appliances in the remaining tomato houses.

The results obtained from heating trials conducted with turf-burning boilers in the County Donegal unit of the Gaeltacht Glasshouse Scheme during the 1952 and 1953 seasons on the whole proved reasonably satisfactory from a production point of view.

As regards the second part of the question, I would refer the Deputy to the reply given by my predecessor to a question on 22nd April, 1954. There has been no change in the situation since then.
