Vol. 227 No. 5

Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Beer Duty Payments.

166.

asked the Minister for Finance the approximate bulk barrelage that paid duty for imported and home-made beer for each of the years 1956-57, 1964-65, 1965-66, and 1966-67.

Estimates of the quantities of beer on which duty will be paid in the current financial year are at present being prepared in connection with the forthcoming Budget and are not yet available. If the Deputy repeats the question after Easter, I expect then to be in a position to furnish figures for 1966-67.

Following is the information requested for the financial years 1956-57, 1964-65 and 1965-66:
