With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the data in so far as they are available. Data showing details of total imports of the various types of footwear classified by country of origin are published in the official monthly and annual trade statistics reports but data classified by country are not available in respect of imports (a) under licence and (b) duty paid.
Following is the statement:
