asked the Taoiseach if he will state, allowing for rises in prices, what was the increase in the gross national product in the years 1953 to 1957, inclusive.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Gross National Product.
I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving an estimate of the value of the gross national product at constant 1953 market prices in each of the years 1953 to 1957 and the corresponding index numbers to base 1953=100. The later figures, particularly those for 1957, are subject to revision.
Following is the statement:—
