asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the weight in cwts. of rabbits exported to Great Britain in the years 1936, 1937 and 1938; and also the approximate weight of rabbits sold in Dublin for those years.

There were 52,885 cwts. of dead rabbits exported to Great Britain from this country in the year 1936, 81,288 cwts. in 1937, and 47,872 cwts. in 1938. Information is not available in my Department as to the weight of rabbits sold in Dublin in these years.
