asked the Minister for Agriculture if he is aware of the serious destruction wrought by rabbits in County Tipperary and elsewhere, and, if so, if he will state what steps, if any, are being taken by his Department for the destruction of this pest.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Destruction by Rabbits.

This problem is one which can most effectively be dealt with by localaction; and farmers whose crops have been damaged should themselves organise and take concerted measures for the destruction of the pest.
