Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Imports of Motor Cars and Parts.
Statistics of imports are brought to account in accordance with the official import list, which does not in all cases specify precisely the items which the Deputy has requested. I intend, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement of imports for the years in question judged relevant to the Deputy's question.
Following is the statement:—
