asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will arrange for the establishment in some central position in Munster of a factory for the canning of crabs and scallops.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Munster Canning Factory.
The establishment of a factory of the kind mentioned is a matter for private enterprise. I am not accordingly in a position to do as requested by the Deputy but my Department would of course give all the assistance possible to the promoters of such an enterprises in the selection of a site by way of information as to catches, etc.
Would the Parliamentary Secretary state if they are prepared to issue a proper recipe with the sale of escallops so as to popularise them?
That is a separate question.
