Vol. 34 No. 15

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Export of Calves.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he will state (a) the number of calves under three months old which were exported during the years 1928 and 1929, (b) the ports from which they were exported, and (c) the numbers which were exported from each port.

Particulars of the number of calves exported in a specific age category are not available. I will circulate with the Official Report the total numbers of calves exported from each Irish port in the years 1928 and 1929.
