Vol. 214 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Meat Exports.

4.

asked the Taoiseach if he will give details of exports stating weight, value and country of destination of beef, lamb, mutton, pork and bacon during each of the calendar years 1962, 1963 and 1964.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the particulars requested by the Deputy. The statement does not include exports of sausages, meat extracts or other prepared or preserved meat.

Following is the statement:—

DOMESTIC Exports of Beef, lamb, mutton, pork and bacon in each year 1962-1964.
