APPENDIX XXIX.

GAELTACHT GLASSHOUSES: INCOME OF TOMATO GROWERS.

An Cléireach,

An Coiste um Chuntais Phoiblí.

At the proceedings of the Committee on the 2nd instant I undertook to provide information about the income of growers of tomatoes under the Gaeltacht Glasshouse Scheme. Perhaps the Summary of Returns, 1958 to 1963, published in Table XXIII appended (page 152) to the Thirty-Third Annual Report of the Minister for Agriculture, 1963-64 (Pr. 7836), would suffice for the Committee’s purposes.
