Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Gross National Product in Ireland and OECD Countries.
14.
With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving index numbers of Gross National Product at constant market prices, to base 1953 = 100, for (a) Ireland in each year 1960 to 1963, and (b) OECD countries in each year 1960 to 1962. Corresponding information for OECD countries is not available for 1963. The data for Ireland are based on figures compiled according to OECD concepts.
Following is the statement:—
