asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he is aware of the discontent among many farmers about the scarcity of TVO for their tractors; and if there is sufficient supply to meet presentday needs.

29.

asked the Minister for Transport and Power if there is a scarcity of TVO or if it will be withdrawn from the market; and if he will make a statement on the position.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 28 and 29 together.

I am informed that sales of TVO are being concentrated in one oil company and I am assured by that company that they have adequate supplies of TVO available to meet all demands.
