Vol. 165 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Potato Exports.

asked the Taoiseach if he will give particulars in respect of tonnage and value of (a) seed and (b) ware potatoes exported for each of the years 1947 to 1957, inclusive.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the information required in the detail prescribed in the Official Export List.

Following is the statement:—
