Question:

133 Ms M. Fox asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will open a district veterinary office in Ashford, County Wicklow, in view of the fact that this is already a frequented village for farmers attending the mart and that there is currently no district veterinary office in Wicklow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7812/97]

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

County Wicklow farmers are currently served by the District Veterinary Offices at Nass and Dublin and there are no plans to establish a separate office for the county in Ashford.
