Vol. 5 No. 15

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - SPIRITS IN BONDED WAREHOUSES.

asked the Minister for Finance whether he will issue a monthly return showing the stocks of Irish, British, and Foreign spirits, and of wines (indicating country of origin), remaining in the bonded warehouses of the Free State on the last day of each month.

Arrangements have already been made for the circulation of a monthly return showing the stocks of Saorstát and Foreign spirits, respectively, remaining in bond in Saorstát Eireann on the last day of each month, and I hope that the first of these returns will be in the Deputy's hands at an early date.

The existing records do not distinguish between British spirits and other foreign spirits, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to supply the figures in regard to British spirits requested by the Deputy.

The particulars desired by the Deputy as regards wines will be included in future issues of the monthly return.

May I ask the Minister whether this return will also be available for the public? I gather that the Wine and Spirit Trade will attach some importance to obtaining this return.

Oh, certainly.
