asked the Taoiseach the total number of beef cattle exported in each of the calendar years 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959 and for the six months ended 30th June, 1960.
I propose, with the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, to take Questions 4 and 5 together and to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the exports of cattle according to each official export list description, for each of the years 1956 to 1959 and for the six months January-June, 1960.
Following is the statement:—
NUMBER of cattle exported in each year 1956-1959 and in the period January-June, 1960.
