227 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the manner in which cattle seized during 1997, which were believed to have been smuggled from Northern Ireland, were disposed of; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16119/98]
Seized cattle which following investigations are believed to have been illegally imported from Northern Ireland are slaughtered. The carcases are rendered and the rendered material is subsequently exported for incineration.
