Question:

57 Mr. McDowell asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will report on the monitoring of cattle in the north west which were fed meat and bonemeal to find out if they would develop BSE; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4969/02]

At present the Department is continuing to carry out investigations to determine the extent of possible contamination of cattle feed which was imported into the country and the possible risks of same. When the investigations which are focused on the use and ultimate destruction of the feed and which by their nature are detailed and complex are completed, the appropriate action will be taken.
