asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state the total amount of milk delivered to creameries in (a) each month of 1957 and 1958, and (b) the current year to the nearest available date.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Milk Deliveries to Creameries.
14.
Approximate figures of milk deliveries to creameries are collected weekly but not by calendar months. The figures for each period of four weeks since the 1st January, 1957, are contained in a tabular statement which I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have circulated with the official report.
The following is the tabular statement:—
