3Ireland also produces significant quantities of synthetic diamond
and is the major supplier to the United States. Output, however, is not quantitatively reported, |
and general
information is inadequate to make reliable estimates of output levels. |
4Excludes output by local authorities and road contractors. |
5Includes clays for cement production, fire clay, granite, marble,
rock sand, silica rock, and slate. |
6Includes production by farmers and by the Bord Na Mona (the
Government Peat Board). |
