Vol. 182 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Stabilisation of Markets for Livestock.

14.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if in view of the fluctuating prices in livestock due to uncertain demand in the United Kingdom he will consider the advisability of securing a quantitative agreement for livestock to stabilise such markets.

No. The Deputy's suggestion seems to me to be quite impracticable.

Does the Minister not accept that the demand for cattle is very variable and is having a very detrimental effect on the price of livestock?

The Deputy does not appear to realise the implications of the question.

I am afraid I must return the same compliment to the Minister. He does not seem to understand any question.
