1950 Dublin, Annual Convention of the Irish Farmers’ Federation

Source: The Irish Times, 01.04.1950

Unless a downward trend in the production of pigs and poultry was checked, there might soon again be a shortage of bacon and eggs, said Miss Elizabeth F. Bobbett, general secretary of the Irish Farmers' Federation, in her report to the annual convention of that body in Dublin. The farmers, she declared, responded wholeheartedly to the call for increased production, but they regretted that Ministers had let them down badly as regards fair prices and an assured market for their produce.
