Vol. 209 No. 12

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Landings of Fish.

68.

asked the Minister for Lands if he can give details of fish landings at the principal ports for each of the years ended 31st March, 1963 and 31st March, 1964.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
