asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries the total acreage of beet grown under contract for the Irish Sugar Company for each of the years 1974 and 1975; and the acreage per county for each of those years.

The total acreage of beet grown under contract for the Irish Sugar Company in 1974 was 63,307 acres and the estimated figure for 1975 is 82,000 acres.
I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report a statement giving data received from the Irish Sugar Company on the acreage per county in respect of the year 1974. Similar information for 1975 is not yet available.
Following is the statement:
