PLANT-QUARANTINE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS, IRISH FREE STATE (SAORSTAT 
EIREANN) 
July 18, 1936. 
This summary of the plant-quarantine import restrictions of the Irish Free 
State has been prepared for the information of nurserymen, plant-quarantine 
officials, and others interested in the exportation of plants and plant products 
to that country. This information was previously included in Circular 
P. Q. C. A. 327; however, since the plant-quarantine restrictions of Great 
Britain have been recently revised, whereas those of the Irish Free State have 
not, and, since the Irish Free State is not a part of the United Kingdom, it 
was deemed desirable to publish this summary separately. 
It was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector in charge of 
Foreign Information Service, Division of Foreign Plant Quarantines, from the 
text of the Destructive Insects and Pests (Ireland) Order, 1922, and subsequent 
plant-quarantine orders and was reviewed by the Department of Agriculture 
of the Irish Free State. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be correct and 
complete up to the time of preparation, but it is not intended to be used 
independently of, nor as a substitute for, the original texts, and it is not to 
be interpreted as legally authoritative. The quarantines themselves should be 
consulted for the exact texts.
