Vol. 202 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Qualifications of Department of Agriculture Staff.

11.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state in relation to civil servants employed in each grade of his Department (a) the total number, (b) the number who are holders of a degree in agricultural science, (c) the number who are holders of a degree in dairy science, and (d) the number who hold professional qualifications, other than those at (b) and (c), which are closely connected with agriculture.

As the answer to the Deputy's question is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it in the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
