Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Imports and Exports.

2.

asked the Taoiseach the description and value of imports from 1st January, 1961, to 31st December, 1961, from Poland, Russia, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, China and Cuba; and the description and value of exports to these countries during the same period.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing particulars of imports originating in and of exports to Poland, U.S.S.R., Czechoslovakia, East Germany, China and Cuba in the period 1st January, 1961, to 31st December, 1961.

Following is the statement:—
