In addition to this amount the value of manufactured food and drink stuffs and tobacco exported from Ireland during 1907 may be taken at approximately £11,000,000, the main items being as follows:—
Almost the whole of these manufactured exports are consigned from Ireland to Great Britain, and it is known that the larger part is retained in Great Britain. It is not possible, however, to say from the existing materials of information what quantities and values are exported to the Colonies and foreign countries. Such particulars of information as can be obtained with regard to the different articles exported from Ireland to the Colonies and foreign countries have been stated in notes in the remarks columns, pages 41–69, of the Report on the Trade in Imports and Exports at Irish Ports for the year 1907, and in Appendix I. of the same Report. viz., "Extracts relating to Irish Trade with Foreign Countries taken from Consular Reports."
