asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he will name the countries to which the then Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Lands referred when he stated on 12th June, 1963, that this country was exporting fish to 22 countries; the quantities involved in each case; and how these figures compare with the present position.

82.
Fish was exported to 21 countries in 1962 but an additional country, Barbados, was added to the list early in 1963. The total number was 24 in 1963 and 26 in 1964. Similar information for 1965 is not yet available.
As the names of the countries and the quantities exported to each are in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it in the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
