asked the Taoiseach the quantity and value of (a) footwear and (b) clothing imported each month during the period January 1979 to January 1980 inclusive.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the imports of (a) footwear and (b) clothing during each month of the period January-December 1979. Data in respect of January 1980 are not yet available.

Following is the statement:—

When will the latter information be made available?

We will have it for the Deputy next month.
