(Dún Laoghaire): I propose to take Questions Nos. 8, 9 and 13 together and to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the information requested in respect of the period January—November 1983 which is the latest period for which such data are available.
Following is the statement:
Trade in bacon, ham and other pigmeat, dried, salted or smoked, in the period January—November 1983.
