Vol. 180 No. 12

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Bacon Exports: Quantity and Value.

3.

Mr. Ryan

asked the Taoiseach if he will state the value and quantity of bacon exports in each year from 1945 to date.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the information requested by the Deputy.

Following is the statement:—

DOMESTIC exports of Bacon and Hams in each year 1945-1959.
