Vol. 157 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Imports of Raspberry-pulp.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state (a) the amount of raspberry-pulp imported in each of the years 1953 to 1955, (b) the price per cwt., and (c) the country of origin.

As the answer is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have is circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
