With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the per capita national income in dollars in Ireland and in each of the member states of the OECD in 1961. OECD definitions have been used in compiling the figures and current dollar exchange rates have been used in the conversion of the basic data from the national currencies.
Following is the statement:—
