Vol. 186 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - 1960 Wheat Crop: Proportion Unmillable.

43.

asked the Minister for Agriculture what proportion of the 1960 wheat crop is unmillable, how this amount is being disposed of, and the loss incurred by the State in its disposal.

The extent to which wheat of the 1960 crop can be used for milling into flour has not yet been finally determined. As it is clear, however, that a substantial quantity of this wheat will have to be disposed of for animal feed, arrangements have already been made both for its sale on the home market and for the export of a limited quantity. In these circumstances, it is not yet possible to estimate the cost to the State of the disposal of the wheat.
