Does the Parliamentary Secretary not agree that the question is that this compound fertiliser is being sold here at a lower price than it is being sold to the people in the country of origin, and will he not admit that a huge tonnage of it has been imported by one importer in bags marked "Made in Ireland"?

This is a separate issue because it concerns merchandise marking.

Is it not true that the marking refers to the manufacture of the plastic bags in which the fertiliser is contained? The writing is so large that one would be inclined to interpret it as referring to the contents, and what action if any can the Parliamentary Secretary take to remove this problem?

These are separate questions on which I am not prepared to be drawn into a long discussion, but the Department are aware of the problem and action is being taken.

I will put down another question next week.
