Vol. 147 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Irish Whiskey Exports.

asked the Taoiseach if he will state the total quantity and value of Irish whiskey exports during the first nine months of 1953 and 1954, respectively, and if he will indicate the countries to which export was made and the value in each case.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the desired information.

Following is the statement:—
