Vol. 168 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cattle and Meat Exports.

asked the Taoiseach if he will give particulars of the total value of cattle and meat exports for the four months ended 30th April, 1956, 1957 and 1958.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the information required.

Following is the statement:—
