Statistics of the kind requested are not compiled by my Department nor are they the appropriate licensing authority. However, I would refer the Deputy to a Central Statistics Office publication entitled Trade Statistics of Ireland which I understand is available in the Library. I trust that this publication, which includes timber export data on a national (but not individual port) basis, will be of assistance.
