Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Textile Imports.

5.

asked the Taoiseach the value of textiles imported from countries outside the EEC in each of the years 1974 and 1975; and the value of such imports from each country.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the value of textiles imported from countries outside the EEC in the year 1974 and in the period January-March, 1975.

Following is the statement:

A—Value of textile fibres and waste imported in the year 1974 and in the period January-March, 1975.
