I move:

That Seanad Éireann hereby approves of Sugar (Prohibition of Import) Order, 1961.

The effect of this Order is to continue for a further period of twelve months from January 1st, 1962, the prohibition of the import of sugar by persons other than Comhlucht Siúicre Éireann. It is designed to reserve the Irish sugar market to producers of home-grown beet in accordance with the policy of providing the country's requirements from home grown sources. This is in the same terms as have been approved for the past 26 years.
