Jimmy Deenihan

Question:

93 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will give the figure for the average family farm income for the townlands of Carrigane, Cloonamon, Glanawillin, Killelton, Kylatallin and Letter all in the Astee district electoral division in County Kerry; and when this income survey was carried out in the area.

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. O'Kennedy)

The average income per farm worker in the townlands in question in the DED of Astee was 76.6 per cent of the comparable national farm income as computed from the data supplied by the farmers in these areas during the 50 per cent random survey of the DED in early 1989.
