asked the Minister for Finance if he will indicate the number of proof gallons of spirits withdrawn from bond in the years 1948 to 1953, inclusive.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Withdrawals of Spirits from Bond.
I assume the Deputy's question relates to the quantities of potable spirits, whether home-made or imported, delivered for home consumption on payment of duty in the years indicated. The information sought by him is in the form of a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to have circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
