Written Answers. - Cattle Statistics.
The precise information requested by the Deputy is not available. The CSO conducts a sample livestock survey every June. The final results from the June survey are published at regional level only. In certain years the June survey covers a larger sample allowing estimates to be made at county level. The most recent information available at county level for cattle is 1997.
