The number and location of district veterinary offices are at present being examined by my Department. Pending the outcome of this examination I cannot say what additional offices, if any, may be provided. I should like to say to Deputy Conlan that I am very much aware of the need for an office in County Monaghan and I hope there will be news in this regard quite soon.
Is the Minister aware that Monaghan County Council offered a suitable location for an office in County Monaghan?
I beg the Deputy's pardon. I did not hear him.
Monaghan County Council have offered a suitable location if the Department decide to have an office there.
It would be well for the Department to have a district veterinary office in County Monaghan and I hope we will have this matter cleared up pretty soon.
