In relation to section 2 subsection (1) states:
The Minister shall establish and maintain a register of growers of potatoes and packers of potatoes to be known as the register of potato growers and potato packers and be referred to in the Act as the register.
I would like to ask the Minister if this register can be inspected and, if so, where? Are there qualifications required in order to get on the register? When I ask that question I am thinking about people who are not farmers at all and who have been growing substantial acreage of potatoes over the last number of years: professional people such as teachers, members of the Garda. I have known quite a number of those people who have in the past grown large acreages of potatoes. Can they be included on the register? Is there anything to stop them being included on the register or are there any requirements that state that those people included in the register should be farmers only?
