Vol. 197 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Butter Exports.

3.

Mr. Belton

asked the Taoiseach (a) the quantity of butter exported to the Continent this year, (b) the names of the countries to which it was exported, and (c) the price per lb. paid by each country.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report, a statement giving for the first nine months of this year—the latest period for which the information is available—the information asked for by the Deputy.

Following is the statement:

QUANTITY of Butter exported to European countries in the period January-September, 1962, showing country of destination and price per lb. (f.o.b.)
