‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Import Statistics. Effectiveness of the buy Irish campaign
Summary
Byrne questioned whether import figures showed the campaign was ineffective. Lalor noted textile imports had fallen in 1977 compared with 1976, while Barry and Harte challenged the campaign’s effectiveness.
Are the figures the Minister of State has given an indication that the Government's campaign to buy Irish has not been as effective as the Government hoped it would be?
Comment on this
I have just said that the imports of textiles in 1977 were less than in 1976. We have not got the figures for 1978.
