asked the Taoiseach the total amount of coal imported to this country in the years 1959 to 1963 inclusive; and if he will give separate figures concerning the import of anthracite for the same period, setting out the quantity of large cobbles, nuts, beans, peas and duff.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Coal Imports.
1.
With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the particulars requested by the Deputy in so far as these are available. The official import list does not provide separate classifications for anthracite cobbles or peas. Imports of these would be accounted for under the residual heading in the statement.
Following is the statement:—
