I propose to take Questions Nos. 14 to 17 together and to circulate a tabular statement showing the information on exports of beef requested by the Deputy for the years 1986 to 1988 and January to February 1989 the latest period available.
There were no exports of lamb and mutton to the countries in question during the specified periods.
Following is the statement:
Exports of Beef.
*Provisional.
In general it should be noted that commodity detail from external trade statistics does not include (a) transactions (non-dutiable) of less than £100 for 1986 and £200 for 1987 and 1988 and (b) trade by firms operating in Shannon Free Airport.
