The figures supplied show the number of sheep imported into Ireland for the years 2011 to 2016. The yearly fluctuations in volumes of sheep imported is very much influenced by exchange rate volatility. I note that the vast majority of these each year are sheep that are imported direct for slaughter from Northern Ireland.
| Year | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Sheep Imported | 454,640 | 385,262 | 441,213 | 364,178 | 363,735 | 477,928 | 9,197 |
