Donnchadh Ó Briain: Information on Donnchadh Ó Briain  Zoom on Donnchadh Ó Briain  I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report two statements covering the years 1948 to 1958, one showing the values of domestic exports of live cattle and the other showing the values of domestic exports of foodstuffs and of other raw materials and manufactured goods, distinguishing in each case the principal countries of destination.
