32 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the current position regarding the collection of arrears from pigmeat processors. [11197/95]
My Department has just concluded an agreement with the pigmeat industry for the payment of the outstanding arrears of approximately £1.2 million in respect of meat inspection fees over a three year period beginning in 1995. The position in relation to the pre-April 1985 arrears was dealt with in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 250 on 25 April 1995.
