Ms Olivia Buckley:

Yes. That figure came from an excellent report that was produced by the ESRI earlier this year. It looked at the exports of Irish indigenous services and the exports of indigenous products. We have a lot more detail on products because of the revenue system in Customs and Excise. The number one product exported product by Irish owned companies is meat of bovine animal, fresh or chilled. It accounted for 23% in 2015.
