In a reply to a similar question by the Deputy on 4th November, 1970, details were given of the expenditure on sea fishery research incurred by my Department and the semi-State bodies connected with it in each of the years from 1960-61 to 1968-69. Corresponding figures for the subsequent three years are given in a tabular statement which I propose, a Cheann Comhairle, with your permission, to circulate in the Official Report.
Following is the statement :—

*To each of these figures must be added a sum to cover the salaries, travelling and subsistence expenses of the officers engaged in sea fishery research. For 1970-71 that sum was about £24,600.
