asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he will consider setting up a central analytical laboratory to facilitate the selection of breeding cattle for the AI centres on both the fat and protein content in milk.

The laboratory testing of milk required for progeny testing bulls in the AI service is carried out by the AI stations themselves. I do not at present envisage the setting up of a central laboratory for this work.
Has there been any request from any of the AI stations for such a facility?
Not that I am aware of. I doubt that it is necessary.
