Vol. 159 No. 11

Questions— Oral Answers. - Munster Creameries.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state in respect of each of the Counties Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Kerry and Waterford (a) the registered trade name of each creamery, (b) the number of branches operated by each, (c) the number of pasteurisers installed by each registered creamery, and (d) the number of applications for grants for the installation of pasteurisers listed by each central creamery.

As the reply to (a) and (b) of the Deputy's question is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

With regard to (c) of the question, it would be contrary to practice to give such information in respect of individual creameries, but for the information of the Deputy I may say the records in my Department indicate that the total number of skim milk pasteurising plants at present installed at creameries and cream-separating stations in each of the counties in question is as follows:—Cork, 38; Limerick, 18; Tipperary, 4; Kerry, 27, and Waterford, 4.

As to (d) the number of applications for grants for the installation of skim milk pasteurisation plants received by my Department to date from creamery proprietors in the counties referred to is:—Cork, 40; Limerick, 18; Tipperary, 4; Kerry, nil, and Waterford, 4.

The answers to (c) and (d) are based on the assumption that the question relates to plants for pasteurising skim milk, as distinct from other types of pasteurising plants.

Following is the tabular statement in reply to (a) and (b):—
