Written Answers. - Imports and Exports on Irish Registered Ships.
The only relevant information relates to the number and net registered tonnage of vessels which entered and cleared Irish ports in the categories of countries mentioned. The following table gives this information in respect of ships which entered and cleared Irish ports with cargo in the years 1960, 1961 and 1964-66. It is not possible to compile such information for 1962 and 1963 as the basic data are no longer in a form suitable for processing. Corresponding information is not available for the year 1967.
