asked the Taoiseach if he will state (a) the number of barrels of seed wheat imported in each of the years 1954, 1955, and 1956; and (b) the countries from which the wheat was imported and the quantity in each case.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the particulars required.

Following is the statement:—

QUANTITY of seed wheat imported in each year 1954-56.
