Footwear component imports
Treacy sought figures on imported footwear components by origin, volume and value. Lalor said available import data would be circulated, but the use of imported raw materials in footwear manufacture was not separately recorded.
asked the Taoiseach the amount of imported materials and component parts, that is, uppers made up or in part, heels, soles, insoles, linings, lasts, toe puffs, stiffeners and so forth, used for the manufacture of footwear, indicating the country of origin, the volume in pairs and the value in each of the years 1973 to 1978 and in each month in 1977 and 1978 to date.
Comment on this
With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the available data on imports of parts of footwear. The proportion of imported materials such as leather, rubber and so on, to be used for the manufacture of footwear is not separately recorded in the statistics.
Following is the statement:
