‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - PVC Piping. Oil imports for PVC piping
Summary
Trade statistics do not identify oil imports by end use, and the Minister understands no oil is imported to manufacture PVC piping.
asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce the total volume of oil imported during each of the past four years for use as a basic raw material in the manufacture of PVC piping; and the yearly value of those imports.

The official trade statistics do not classify imports—including imports of oil—by the intended end use. It is my understanding, however, that oil is not imported into Ireland for use as a basic raw material in the manufacture of PVC piping.
