32. Mr. SWAN

asked the Minister of Labour if he can state the number of persons in Ireland who are thrown out of work duo to the destruction of co-operative creameries and dairies?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I am unable to state the number of persons thrown out of work by the destruction of co-operative creameries and dairies.

Mr. WATERSON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that owing to the destruction of these creameries £500,000 worth of trade has been lost, with consequent unemployment?
