asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he is aware that in the last milk ring test for brucellosis carried out in County Clare 80 per cent of herds were clear and that any delay in the implementation of the eradication scheme would have serious consequences; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 44 and 45 together.
