Vol. 160 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Imports of Cheese.

asked the Taoiseach if he will state (a) the total quantity of cheese imported in the period 1st January to 30th September, 1956, (b) the countries of origin, and the amount imported from each, and (c) the total value of such imports.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the quantity and value of cheese imported from each country in the period 1st January to 30th September, 1956.

Following is the statement:—
