As the company operating Tynagh is a private concern, it would not be appropriate for me to furnish this information.
The information has, however, been furnished by the company in its annual report. For the convenience of the Deputy, I can tell him that they indicate that the production of lead/ zinc concentrates for the period ended 31st December, 1965, was 12,482 tons; production for the year ended 31st December, 1966, was 121,564 tons and the forecast production for the year ending 31st December, 1967, is 159,320 tons.
