Seymour Crawford
Question:380 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has made a decision regarding the use of meat and bonemeal in pig and poultry rations in view of the major reduction in BSE cases in the country, the fact that international advice makes it clear that such use is 100% safe and the fact that this would reduce the cost of animal feed for the pig and the poultry sector and save enormous cost to the Exchequer is disposing of meat and bonemeal elsewhere; his views on whether farmers here are disadvantaged by the fact that their competitors in the USA and elsewhere are incorporating genetically modified ingredients in there animal feed diets (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.
