Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Imports of Fish.
4.
Imports of fish are classified in accordance with the various descriptions specified in the Official Import List and data are available only in respect of these descriptions.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing these particulars for the year ended 28 February, 1965—the latest date for which data are available. It is not the practice to provide names of individual importers.
Following is the statement:—
