Vol. 159 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Landings of Fish.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state in respect of each of the fishing seasons 1953-54 to 1955-56 the quantity of fish landed at Dunmore East, Killybegs, Galway, Schull, Castletownbere and Cahirciveen respectively.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing in respect of each of the calendar years 1953, 1954 and 1955 the quantity of fish returned as landed at the ports referred to.

Following is the statement:—
