asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state, in respect of the years ended 31st March, 1954 and 1955, respectively, the total quantity and value of demersal fish landed by each of the State trawlers, Lochlein, Lochlaoi and Lochlorgan.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the information asked for in the Deputy's question as supplied to me by An Bord Iascaigh Mhara.

Following is the statement:—
