The information requested by the Deputy in regard to tuberculin tested milk, as such, is not available in my Department but information is available in regard to (1) highest grade milk (all of which is, of course, the produce of tuberculin tested cows but is not pasteurised); (2) pasteurised milk (some of which may possibly be from tuberculin tested cows), and (3) other milk (which is not pasteurised but some of which may also be from tuberculin tested cows). In the year 1955, 4.56 per cent. of the total daily milk consumption in the City and County of Dublin and the Urban District of Bray consisted of highest grade milk; 86.04 per cent. was pasteurised milk and the balance of 9.40 per cent. was unpasteurised milk other than highest grade.
