Vol. 195 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Imports of Wine.

4.

asked the Taoiseach the value of wines imported in the years 1950, 1955, 1960 and 1961 and their countries of origin.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the value of imports of wine in each of the years 1950, 1955, 1960 and 1961 classified by country of origin.

Following is the statement:—
