asked the Taoiseach the amount of feeding barley imported for each of the past five years; from what sources it was imported; and the prices paid per ton.

The Official Import List, on which import statistics are based, does not contain a separate heading for feeding barley. It is understood, however, that almost all imports of barley (other than seed) consist of feeding barley. With your permission, A Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing by country of origin the quantity, value and price per ton (c.i.f.) of such imports in each of the years 1964 to 1968.

Following is the statement:

IMPORTS OF BARLEY (EXCLUDING SEED FOR SOWING) IN EACH YEAR 1964 TO 1968.
