Vol. 116 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Bacon Pig Prices.

Mr. P.D. Lehane

asked the Minister for Agriculture whether he will state what price producers may expect for bacon pigs weighing 14 stone and over during the coming 12 months.

Mr. Dillon

As regards pigs weighing 14 stone, dead weight, I would refer the Deputy to my reply to the question asked by Deputy Smith on the 8th June. For heavier weight pigs somewhat lower prices may be expected as, in normal supply conditions, consumers prefer lean bacon.
