Vol. 166 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Shipping Statistics.

asked the Taoiseach if he will state the number and tonnage of vessels arriving at and departing from each port in the State from other ports within the State in each of the years 1947 to 1957, indicating in each case the nationality of the vessels.

The official shipping statistics are not complied in the detail specified in the question, but I have had the information specially extracted for the year 1957. The preparation of similar figures for the ten years 1947-56 would entail an expenditure of time and labour which I do not consider that the results would justify. I propose, therefore, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the information required for 1957 only.

Following is the statement:—

THE number and net registered tonnage of vessels, including their repeated voyages, that arrived at and departed from ports in the State from and to other ports in the State in the year 1957.
