asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if only one firm (name supplied) is allowed to supply feeding stuffs to Listowel Dairy Disposal Company, County Kerry; and, if so, the reason for this situation.

The animal feeding stuffs stocked by the Dairy Disposal Company at their Listowel premises are obtained, under contract, from the manufacturing firm whose quotation was considered by the company to be the most acceptable of the quotations received when tenders were sought by the company last year.

The Dáil adjourned at 5 p.m. until 3 p.m. on Tuesday, 3rd July, 1973.
