Vol. 458 No. 5

Written Answers. - Welfare of Exported Animals.

Tony Gregory

Question:

178 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when the findings of his Department's study on the welfare of animals being exported from Ireland to the Continent will be published as promised by him earlier this year. [17134/95]

I understand that the author of the study is making arrangements for its publication, subject to peer group adjudication, in an appropriate scientific journal. If not published as intended, I will look at alternative arrangements for publication as early as possible. As I indicated in a reply to a parliamentary question on 20 June last, this study was undertaken in 1992 which was prior to the implementation of the statutory instrument on transporting animals which I introduced on 26th April 1995.
