Ceist:56 Mr. McEllistrim asked the Taoiseach the quantity of lamb imported into this country in 1991.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 54, 55 and 56 together and to circulate a statement giving the required information. Imports of lamb are not separately distinguished in the Customs and Excise Tariff of Ireland. The available information relates to imports of mutton.
The following is the statement:
