The Official Import List did not, prior to the introduction of the Order, require almonds and almond preparations to be separately described as such and accordingly it is not possible to give the information required.
asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the quantity and value of articles made wholly or mainly of iron and steel or of a combination of iron and steel to which the Emergency Imposition of Duties (No. 81) Order, 1935, refers, imported into Saorstát Eireann during each of the six months immediately preceding the date of issue of the Order; and the quantity and value of such articles imported during each of the corresponding six months of the two preceding years.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the total quantity and value of onions to which Control of Imports (Quota No. 23) Order, 1935, relates, imported during the period beginning 1st November, 1934, and ending on 31st July, 1935, and the total amount, if any, of Customs duties paid in respect of these imports.
Imports under the heading of Raw Onions (whether fresh or dried) — to which the Control of Imports (Quota No. 23) Order, 1935, relates — during the period from the 1st November, 1934, to the 31st July, 1935, consisted of 113,707 cwts. of dried onions, valued at £45,838. Dried onions are not liable to Customs duty and, as there were no imports of fresh onions, which are liable to Customs duty under the Finance (Customs Duties) (No. 4) Act, 1932, Section 2 and Second Schedule, Reference No. 9 (g), no Customs duty was received in respect of imports of onions to which the above-mentioned quota order relates during the period referred to in the question.

The information requested by the Deputy is not available as separate accounts have not been kept in respect of the goods affected by the Control of Imports (Quota No. 24) Order, 1935, viz., rigid and non-collapsible perambulators. The only information available is that contained in the following table, which covers the period of 12 months ended the 31st December, 1934, and includes folding perambulators, go-cars, etc. not included in the Control of Imports (Quota No. 24) Order, 1935:—
