I propose to take Questions Nos. 319 and 320 together.

According to the most recent Trade Statistics from the CSO, 42,333 tonnes of pig meat products were imported into Ireland in the period January to June 2022. By country of origin, the United Kingdom was the largest for imported pig meat products at 13,725 tonnes, with 7,662 tonnes originating in Northern Ireland and 6,063 tonnes originating in Great Britain.

Some 145,807 tonnes of pig meat products were exported over the same period.

A breakdown of the imported pig meat products by category, in tabular form, is attached.
