The records of expenditure under the Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication Scheme kept by my Department do not distinguish between North and South Tipperary. The amount paid by way of headage grant in respect of County Tipperary as a whole from 1st October, 1959, when the headage grant arrangements first came into operation, up to 20th June, 1962, was £446,773.
