asked the Taoiseach the average number of tons of pork and bacon exported per week during the last month and during the same period in 1973.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Pork Exports.
5.
Trade statistics are not compiled on a weekly basis. Exports of pork and bacon, including hams during October, 1974, amounted to 1,943 metric tons. The corresponding figure for October, 1973, was 4,143 metric tons.
I wonder if the Parliamentary Secretary has any information in his brief as to why there has been a drastic decrease in our exports at present?
No. I have only got the figures, not the facts behind them.
