Vol. 173 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cattle Imports.

4.

asked the Taoiseach if he will give details of the value and type of cattle imported into this country in 1958.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the number and value of each of the different types of cattle permanently imported into this country in the year 1958 and also the number and value of cattle temporarily imported and of cattle returned after temporary export in the same period.

Following is the statement:—
