Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Exports of Printed Matter.

1.

Mr. Ryan

asked the Taoiseach if he will give the exports of printed matter in 1963 in the form of a reply of 7th February, 1963.

I propose, with your permission, Sir, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the desired information. A revision has been made of the relevant headings in the Official Export List but it is believed that the categories shown conform as closely as possible to these in my earlier reply.

Following is the statement:—
