Question:

185 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will have arrangements made to investigate alleged cases of cruelty and neglect at the horse abattoir, Straffan, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17268/95]

Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. Yates)
