Statistics of imports are compiled according to the Official Import List which does not provide the details asked for by the Deputy. However, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing particulars of imports of fish according to the headings of the Official Import List, which are judged relevant to the Deputy's question, in the period 1st February to 28th February, 1962, the latest date for which particulars are available.
Following is the statement:—
