asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state for each financial year since 1947 the total production of turf by Bord na Móna, segregating machine turf and milled peat, and the amount thereof sold to the E.S.B.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Production of Turf by Bord na Móna.
As the information 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. Figures in respect of the financial year ended 31st March, 1958, are not yet available.
The following is the statement:—
