Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Joint Stock Banks' Investments.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will indicate the approximate foreign portfolios of investments held by joint stock banks trading in Éire and the average yield of these investments.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will indicate approximately the extent to which the investment portfolios of the joint stock banks are filled with Irish Government securities or other Irish stocks and the average yield of these investments.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 10 and 11 together. The most recent figures of the banks' holdings of investments in this country and abroad are given in the Quarterly Statistical Bulletinof the Central Bank for October, 1953, a copy of which is available in the OireachtasLibrary. I have no information as regards the average yield of these investments.
