It is a function of the Agricultural Wages Board to fix minimum agriculture wage rates and I understand that the board keep the position under constant review.
Does the Minister agree that the rate referred to in Deputy Foley's question is the minimum agricultural rate for County Dublin and not the rate?
That is what I was emphasising in my reply.
