asked the Minister for Finance if he will state (a) what goods were subject to import duties in 1938 and the rates of such duties, and (b) what goods were subject to import duties in 1952 and the rates of such duties.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Duties on Imported Goods.
Details of all customs duties are contained in the Customs and Excise Tariff,revised editions of which are issued periodically under the authority of the Revenue Commissioners.
The 1938 print of that publication sets out the position as at the 1st December, 1938. There was no issue in 1952, but I assume that the 1953 print, which shows the position as at the 1st January, 1953, will be sufficient for the Deputy's purpose.
Copies of both the 1938 and the 1953 prints are available in the Oireachtas Library.
