232 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will provide cattle price information (details supplied) in both graphic and tabular form. [3458/00]
233 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will provide the actual prices paid on a weekly basis for the different categories of livestock, steers, heifers and cows purchased by named meat plants on graded EUROP grid basis. [3459/00]
234 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will provide a weekly print out of the actual EUROP grades of livestock, steers, heifers and cows on a percentage basis from each of the named meat plants operating. [3460/00]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 232, 233 and 234 together.
Commencing last week, I have arranged for the publication on a weekly basis of the prices paid by named meat factories for steers in the previous week on the basis of the EUROP classification grid. Prices for heifers and cows will be published on the same basis in the near future.
