Dáil Éireann - Volume 171 - 25 November, 1958 Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Report of Milk Costings Commission. Mr. Desmond Mr. Desmond Mr. Desmond asked the Minister for Agriculture when it is proposed to publish the Report of the Milk Costings Commission. Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Smith) Patrick Smith Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Smith): It is not proposed to have the report published, for the reason that there is no demand for copies and the cost of printing the report, which is a voluminous document including over 200 pages of tables, would not accordingly be justified. A copy of the report will be made available to the Deputy if he so desires. General Mulcahy General Mulcahy General Mulcahy: Has the Minister investigated why there is no demand for the copies? Mr. Desmond Mr. Desmond Mr. Desmond: Would it not be more advisable to place a copy at the disposal of every Fianna Fáil Deputy, including the Parliamentary Secretary to the Taoiseach? Donnchadh Ó Briain Donnchadh Ó Briain Donnchadh Ó Briain: I have one. Mr. Sweetman Mr. Sweetman 789 Mr. Sweetman: I hope the Parliamentary Secretary has learned a lot [789] and says penance every day for his attacks. General Mulcahy General Mulcahy General Mulcahy: Would the Minister say why it is possible for Deputy Ó Briain to inform the House that the Fianna Fáil Deputies have copies? Mr. Smith Mr. Smith Mr. Smith: He did not say that I answered a similar question here some months ago addressed to me by Deputy Desmond, and I indicated— and not only on that occasion but on other occasions—that stencilled copies are in my Department and if anyone wants a copy to read he can have it. General Mulcahy General Mulcahy General Mulcahy: Good. Mr. Smith Mr. Smith Mr. Smith: If we are not asked for them, naturally we do not circulate them. Mr. O'Sullivan Mr. O'Sullivan Mr. O'Sullivan: Arising out of that reply, would the Minister indicate when the Government intends to implement the findings of the commission? Mr. Smith Mr. Smith Mr. Smith: The Deputy should have a look at the report first if he is interested. Dáil Éireann 171 Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. Report of Milk Costings Commission.
