Mr. Clive Carter:

Deputy Kenny raised a point about what we require while Deputy McConalogue raised the issue of where we saw the malting barley producing €60,000 per acre. Mr. Kelly will back me up regarding malt. It is based on the amount of pints of Guinness or such that we get from a tonne of barley and the tonnes of barley the average yield or what people can produce. We get over 10,000 pints from a tonne of malting barley. Many people are hoping for a crop of above three tonnes per acre so it is 30,000 pints, whatever that adds up to. We have been getting that figure from excise duties on whiskey.
