asked the Minister for Agriculture whether he is aware that the position of creamery manager at Ennistymon Central Creamery was recently filled by the transfer of a manager from Kerry, although no less than eleven sub-creamery managers in Clare were eligible for this vacancy; and, if so, whether he will state the reasons why the customary procedure of not transferring creamery managers from one county to another was departed from in this case.

The answer to the first part of the question is "Yes." With regard to the second part, my only concern in the appointment of creamery managers is to ensure that they are fully qualified for the position to which they are appointed.
