asked the Minister for Agriculture whether or not it is intended to grant an increase in wages to employees of State farms.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Wages of Employees of State Farms.
Employees at the farms under the control of my Department are paid a differential over the minimum rate of wages prescribed by the Agricultural Wages Board for the particular district or where a higher rate than the minimum is generally paid locally, a differential over that rate is paid by my Department. I propose to maintain that arrangement.
