Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Butter Exports.

14.

asked the Taoiseach the quantity of butter exported during the last three years to the latest available date; the name of each country to which the exports were made; the amount of butter exported to each such country; and the net price obtained from each country.

With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving for each of the years 1960, 1961 and 1962 and for the first eight 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 in each year 1960-1962 and in the period January-August, 1963, showing country of destination and price per lb. (f.o.b.).
