asked the Taoiseach the total tonnage of carcass beef exported in each of the calendar years 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959 and for the six months ended 30th June, 1960.

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

Following is the statement:—

TOTAL tonnage of carcase beef exported in each year 1956-1959 and the six months January— June, 1960.
