Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Wheat Imports.

asked the Minister for Agriculture what is the average c.i.f. price and moisture content of each cargo of wheat (giving country of origin) received at Irish ports from 1st September, 1952, to date.

Mr. Walsh

As the information sought by the Deputy is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

The statement is as follows:—

Average c.i.f. price and moisture content of imported wheat (including country of origin) in period 1st September, 1952 to 23rd February, 1953.
