asked the Minister for Agriculture what is the average time since 1st January, 1958, between the receipt of a soil sample at Johnstown Castle and the issue of a report thereon.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Report on Soil Sample.
I understand that the average period was 16 days.
Might I ask the Minister if he would confirm that there is no ground for the suggestion that, recently, periods of months have elapsed between the delivery of a sample and the delivery of the report?
Not even in any one case although there might have been some that, for certain reasons, were held a little longer than others.
