Vol. 424 No. 6

Written Answers. - Mushroom Industry.

Terry Leyden

Ceist:

107 Mr. Leyden asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the action, if any, he proposes to take to protect jobs in the mushroom industry, especially the plight of producers who are currently trading at a loss since the devaluation of sterling; and if part of the £50 million Market Development Fund will be used to assist mushroom producers or exporters.

My Department has made a submission regarding the mushroom industry to the inter-departmental management board which has been established to lay down conditions of eligibility for assistance under the Market Development Fund. The matter is at present under consideration by the management board.
