asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state what profit or loss was shown as a result of the tillage operations carried out by his Department on the farm of Mr. James McCormack, of Driminagh, Tulsk, County Roscommon.

I consider that it is not in the public interest to give particulars in individual cases respecting tillage operations carried out pursuant to the provisions of the Tillage Order. I do not propose, therefore, to reply to questions involving particular occupiers which may be addressed to me.
