asked the Minister for Lands the figures for the total catches of fish landed at (a) Dingle, (b) Killybegs, (c) Castletownbere, (d) Passage East, (e) Howth and (f) Galway during the period 1st November, 1961 to 31st March, 1962, and the amounts of the total landings from each of the above six ports for each of the last five years.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
