Emmet Stagg
Ceist:66 Mr. Stagg asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment her views on the trade figures for the first half of 2003, which show a significant decline in exports on the same period in 2002; if an examination has been undertaken of the extent to which trade figures may have been distorted by a scam involving VAT on electrical goods; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
