asked the Taoiseach if he will state the quantities of oats imported during each of the months August and September, 1955.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Oats—Imports.
asked the Taoiseach whether oats have been imported since 1st September last, and, if so, what was the quantity and price of such imports.
I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 5 and 6 together. No oats, with the exception of seeds for sowing, were imported in the months of August and September, 1955. Imports of oatseed amounted to 8 cwt. in August, 1955, and 61 cwt. in September, 1955. The average (c.i.f.) price in the latter month was £1 18s. 4d. per cwt. Particulars of any imports in October are not yet available.
