I propose to take Questions Nos. 225 to 234, inclusive, together.
The Deputy has requested various details in respect of dairy trade between Ireland and Britain/Northern Ireland, across a range of product categories. The response is set out in the table. It is compiled based on the most recently available annual data from the CSO. For cheese, a percentage estimate is included in respect of cheddar as a proportion of the total cheese category.
