Vol. 206 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Fish Landings.

64.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the sterling value of (a) demersal and (b) pelagic fish landed at the top ten fishing ports in the country for the year ended 31st December 1962.

These figures are included in a tabular statement published at page 34 of the Fisheries Report for 1962 and, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate them with the Official Report.

Following is the statement of value of landings of demersal fish, pelagic fish and shellfish at the top ten ports in the year ended 31st December, 1962:—
