The main markets for each type of butter tend to be grouped round 
the ports of entry and, though the areas are not well defined, the 
following rough divisions may be drawn :— 
{1) The South and South-West, where Empire butter, chiefly 
Australian and New Zealand, predominates. 
2) The West and North-West, where the bulk of the Irish 
supplies are marketed in the summer, and considerable 
quantities of New Zealand in the winter. 
{3) The East and North-East, where continental butter, chiefly 
Danish, predominates. 
First Survey —The following table shows the distribution of the 
various types of butter in the areas covered during the First Survey, 
April-June, 1929.
