View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 503 and 504 together.
I attach in tabular form the value and volume of sheepmeat, chilled or frozen, exported from Ireland over the past five calendar years, showing the detail for the top twenty export destinations based on the CSO’s trade statistics. The Deputy has also asked for this data by animal type, but trade data is not available to the level of detail requested.
A summary of sheepmeat exports over this period is included in the table below.
