asked the Minister for Finance if he will state for each of the three occasions to date on which Exchequer Bills have been issued for public subscription (a) the total amount issued, (b) the rate per cent. per annum, and (c) the amount issued to applicants outside the State.

As the answer is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
