Vol. 177 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Export of Turkeys.

12.

asked the Taoiseach what quantity of turkeys was exported from Ireland in each year from 1950 to 1958, inclusive.

I propose, with the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the quantity in hundredweights of dead turkeys exported in each of the years 1950 to 1958, inclusive, and also the number of live turkeys exported in each of the years 1950, 1951, 1957 and 1958. Exports of live turkeys were not separately distinguished in the export statistics for the years 1952 to 1956, inclusive.

Following is the statement:—
