§ Mr. P. MEEHANasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland when a Wages Board will be established for Ireland, and when will the operations of the Board begin?
§ Mr. DUKEThe Corn Production Bill provides the statutory authority for a wages board for agricultural labour, and I anticipate that immediately the Bill becomes law it will be put into operation in Ireland. Meantime employers and employed are in most parts of the country making reasonable voluntary arrangements.
