asked the Taoiseach the quantity and value of imports and exports of (1) farina and (2) other starch products in each of the last three years for which figures are available; and if he will give separate figures in respect of Ceimicí Teoranta.
Written Answers. - Imports and Exports of Starch Products.
100.
The statement below gives the information requested in so far as it is available. The Official Export List contains only one heading covering all starches and it is therefore not possible to distinguish between exports of farina and other starches. As the names of individual importers and exporters are not incorporated in the statistical compilations separate figures are not available in respect of Ceimicí Teoranta.
IMPORTS and Domestic Exports of (1) farina and (2) other starch products in each year 1964-66.
