Vol. 125 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Exports of Eggs.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state the total number of hundreds of eggs exported, the price per hundred received and the total cash value, during the year 1950, and also up to the latest date for which figures are available in 1951 with comparative figures for 1949 and 1948.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Chinn Chomhairle to have it circulated in the Official Report. The statement is as follows:—
