asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he will state for each county in the Republic for each of the years 1960 to 1967 inclusive the number of licensed turkey breeder hatcheries and female turkeys on such farms; the number of licensed turkey egg supply farms and female turkeys on them; and the number of turkey cock stations.

The information requested is in the form of tabular statements, which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to have circulated with the Official Report.
Following are the statements:
Number of Licensed Turkey Breeder Hatcheries and Turkey Egg Supply Farms in 1960.
In the year 1960 there were 16 licensed turkey breeder hatcheries and 214 turkey egg supply farms in operation. The total number of female turkeys on the 230 premises was 4,248. The individual details per county for that year are no longer available.

NOTE. — Figures are not yet available for 1966 and 1967.
Might I remind the Minister that there is a serious decline in poultry production? Has he any plans to correct that trend?
The Deputy did not ask that question.
But the Minister is well aware of it.
