Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Trade with Japan.

15.

asked the Taoiseach if he will give particulars of the quantity, value and type of exports from this country to Japan since the establishment of an Irish diplomatic mission in Tokyo earlier this year.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the available totals for the period January-June, 1974, and specifying the principal commodities, but if it interests the House, I can tell the House that the increase in this sphere for the first six months of this year as against the first six months of last year in exports, say to Japan, was roughly £1½ million.

Following is the statement:
