Vol. 509 No. 6

Written Answers. - Gross National Product.

Ruairí Quinn

Question:

141 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the measure of GNP used within his Department for official purposes; if his Department is using the CSO agreed exhaustive ESA95 figures; if not, when it will update its figures to incorporate this new standard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21722/99]

The Department of the Marine and Natural Resources does not produce series of data which involve the use of GNP as an element in the calculation.

On occasion when individual statistics which require the use of GNP figures are being compiled, advice would be sought from the Department of Finance on the appropriate measure to be used.
