Mr. Corish
Particulars of the estimated money value of agricultural output in the agricultural years (ended 31st May for live stock and live-stock products, 30th September for crops except potatoes and 30th June for potatoes) 1943-44 and 1944-45 and the calendar year 1945 are published in the Irish Trade Journal and Statistical Bulletin, June, 1946, issue, page 65. The estimate for the calendar year 1946 is not yet available. The change from the agricultural year to the calendar year for estimates of agricultural output was made for national income purposes generally and for association with statistics of industrial production in particular.
The estimated money value of industrial output in the calendar years 1943 and 1944 is published in the Irish Trade Journal and Statistical Bulletin, March, 1946, issue, page 2. The 1945 figures are not yet available.
