asked the Taoiseach if he will state the quantity and value of whiskey exports to each country in each of the financial years ended 31st March, 1952 to 31st March, 1959, and the totals for each year.

The figures for the year 1958-59 refer to the period 1st April, 1958 to 28th February, 1959, the latest date for which figures are available.

* Figures for 1958-59 refer to the period 1st April, 1958 to 28th February, 1959.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary tell me when he will have the information with regard to last month?
I shall have to inquire—in the very near future, I expect.
Would it be possible to make the information available next week without my putting down a question?
I shall inquire, and let the Deputy know.
