asked the Minister for Agriculture the number of licences issued in respect of each county for the seasons 1962-63, 1963-64 and in respect of the current season to operate (a) turkey breeder hatcheries, and (b) turkey hatchery supply farms.
50.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Turkey Hatcheries.

asked the Minister for Agriculture how many officially approved (i) male and (ii) female stock turkeys were on (a) licensed breeder hatchery farms, and (b) licensed turkey hatchery supply farms in each county during the seasons 1962-63, 1963-64 and the current season.

May I ask the Minister if he will now take the necessary steps, bearing in mind that he has sufficient notice to deal with the problem for next Christmas, to ensure that there will be no difficulty then in having a profitable market for turkeys? I am giving the Minister timely notice in the month of June.
I am very grateful to the Deputy for giving me timely notice. That is all that is needed to solve the problem.
