Animal health committees have, in fact, been in existence in a number of counties, including County Cork, for some years past. These were originally set up at the suggestion of my Department.
Also at my Department's suggestion, a number of county councils have established committees to deal specifically with the sheep dipping programme.
I shall look into the possibility of more animal health committees being set up.
