228 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will intervene in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10117/04]
View answerThe named person is registered as a dealer under the provisions of the Diseases of Animals Acts, 1966 to 2001 (Approval and Registration of Dealers and Dealers' Premises) Order 2001, SI 79 of 2001, and, in this regard, was allocated a special herd number for his activities as a dealer. My Department is considering whether animals slaughtered and registered in the dealer's herd number are entitled to benefit from slaughter premium under the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1254/99 and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2342/99. My Department will make direct contact with the named person when a decision is reached in his case.
