asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware that there is a danger of a shortage of soda crystals used in potato spraying due to the industrial dispute in the fertiliser industry; and whether he proposes to take any steps to ensure adequate supplies.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Shortage of Potato Spraying Materials.
I am advised that adequate supplies of soda crystals will be available for potato spraying purposes this season.
Is the Minister aware that, as a result of this dispute, there is a grave danger of disemployment in the fertiliser industry?
That is a separate matter.
