asked the Minister for Agriculture whether, in view of the fact that liquid matter is allowed to flow from the Mitchelstown Creamery into the River Cradoge and from thence to the River Funcheon, 400 yards away, polluting both rivers and poisoning fish, he will make representations to the management of the creamery to have this practice stopped.
