andMr. Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he is aware of the large amounts of sweetened and unsweetened condensed milk that are imported into the State; if he will explain why the native dairying industry is not able to meet this demand; and if he has made any proposals to the industry which will induce it to develop to meet the demand.

The home market for condensed milk is very limited and I understand that, following the transfer of the plant owned by the Condensed Milk Company of Ireland to co-operative ownership, production of the product in this country ceased.
The filling of the limited home market demand for condensed milk is primarily a matter for consideration by the commercial interests concerned and the Industrial Development Authority are, I believe, proposing to discuss with those interests the possibility of having the product manufactured here again.
