Water contamination in supplied milk

Summary

Leyden cited a Galway public analyst’s report that 1.35% of milk was affected by water and urged an investigation. The Chair said the matter had already been discussed; the Minister noted it had been raised previously and answered in detail.

Is the Minister aware of a report by the public analyst in Galway in relation to the milk which was supplied in certain areas?

That appears to be another question. That was asked about here and discussed at length.

The report states that 1.35 per cent was affected by water. If the Minister's Department are paying for the milk, I would advise him to investigate the circumstances under which 1.35 per cent of the milk was mixed——

Deputy, that is obviously a separate question which was thrashed out at considerable length here the other day. Deputy Noonan.

It is most unlike Terry to miss an opportunity like that.

No familiarity, please.

I might point out that the Deputy's constituency colleague, Deputy Naughten, raised this matter last week.

Did the Minister answer him in a satisfactory manner?

In some detail.

He must have, because it was in the papers.

(Limerick West): I think that the Deputy is provoking an argument.

That is not very hard to do.
