Vol. 164 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Production of Creamery Butter.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state the quantity of creamery butter produced to date in 1957, and the quantity of milk received by creameries in the same period.

The quantity of creamery butter produced in the period from 1st January, 1957, to 31st October, 1957, was 897,900 cwt. The total quantity of milk supplied to creameries in the same period was 266,994,900 gallons.

Might I ask the Minister for Agriculture whether that constitutes a record for all time?

It does, thanks be to God.

Say no more.

Does the Deputy claim credit for that with his 1/- per gallon?

There is not a live calf left.

Do not despair. They are nervy.
